{"product_id":"cottage-economy-book-william-cobbett-9780953832507","title":"Cottage Economy","description":"A son of humble circumstance (his father was an innkeeper), a champion of the working class, and an early anti-corporate activist, William Cobbett was most vociferous in his ideas about what makes for a happy and productive peasant. In this 1821 classic of self-reliance and the efficient usage and management of the small farm, Corbett shares his instructions and philosophies regarding . the brewing of beer (and why the notorious tea is not an acceptable substitute) . the making of bread (and why the modern custom of using potatoes to serve the same dietary purpose is deplorable) . the keeping of cows, pigs, bees, geese, and other useful creatures . the growing of straw for making hats and bonnets . the building of an ice house . and much more. British journalist and radical WILIAM COBET (1762-1835) published the weekly newsletter Political Register and is also the author of Advice to Young Men (1829), The Progress of a Ploughboy to a Seat in Parliament (1830), and Rural Rides (1830).","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49559032725777,"sku":"GOR001488122","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49629820911889,"sku":"GOR012346462","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51376614408465,"sku":"GOR002704661","price":13.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0953832503.jpg?v=1751440070","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/cottage-economy-book-william-cobbett-9780953832507","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
