Food subsidy, expansion of migrant work, prioritization of Irish survival over colonial export economy, an injunction against eviction and other predatory landowner operations.
The single-crop ways of Ireland might not have happened without the British policy of forcing Irish land to be split among children, splitting the native power base and leading eventually to the forced sharecropping that caused the Irish to grow the energy-dense potato in the first place. (This practice was ended by the Parliament after the Great Famine.)
“Food subsidy, expansion of migrant work, prioritization of Irish survival over colonial export economy, an injunction against eviction and other predatory landowner operations.”
Oh, you mean government subsidies? Priorization of Irish survival over the nasty non-white people in the colonies?
“The single-crop ways of Ireland might not have happened without the British policy of forcing Irish land to be split among children...”
Thats not British policy. Dividing land between children is a Celtic holdover from the clan system. British are into primogeniture.
