"THE IRON SCALES: Five Centuries of Legalized Class War in Britain"

A devastating exposé of how Britain's ruling class weaponized the law to create and maintain inequality

THIS BOOK WILL CHANGE HOW YOU SEE BRITISH HISTORY - AND TODAY'S CRISES

For 500 years, while the British elite crafted myths of fair play and justice, they were secretly constructing the most sophisticated legal machinery of class oppression the world has ever seen. This meticulously researched work exposes:

THE HIDDEN WAR AGAINST THE POOR

How the 1723 "Black Act" made cutting down a tree punishable by hanging

The brutal workhouse system deliberately designed to be deadlier than prisons

Why Victorian factory owners could maim workers without consequence

THE LEGAL THEFT THAT NEVER ENDED

From enclosure laws stealing common land to Right-to-Buy gutting social housing

How anti-union laws crushed wages from 1799 to today's gig economy

The shocking continuity between Poor Laws and Universal Credit sanctions

YOUR PAYCHECK IN CHAINS

The Master/Servant Acts that made quitting a job a criminal offense

How Thatcher's laws erased 100 years of worker rights overnight

Why your zero-hour contract has roots in 18th century servitude
