This week Bunny chats to Max Cotton. Max was a political reporter in Westminster for the BBC from 1995. He left politics in 2012.  Max decided he would live for twelve months from his small holding near Glastonbury of 5 acres only allowing himself to buy salt. As Max put it ‘I wanted a plain pastoral existence, that a chap in Saxon England would recognise, for its stoic simplicity of purpose.' Bunny chats to Max about the politics involved in farming, William Cobbett who in the 18th Century reckon a quarter of an acre could feed a family, and how he grew 2500 calories a day to feed himself for 365 days.  #bunnyguinnesspodcast #maxgrowingsolo

Our Recall this Buck series, back in 2020 and 2021, explored the history of money, ranging from the earliest forms of labor IOUs to the modern world of bitcoin and electronically distributed value. We began by focusing on the rise of capitalism, the Bank of England, and how an explosion of liquidity changed everything. We were lucky to do so, just before the Pandemic struck, with Christine Desan of Harvard Law School, who recently published Making Money: Coin, Currency, and the Coming of Capitalism (Oxford University Press, 2014). She is also managing editor of JustMoney.org, a website that explores money as a critical site of governance. Desan's research explores money as a legal and political project. Her approach opens economic orthodoxy to question by widening the focus on money as an instrument, to examine the institutions and agreements through which resources are mobilized and tracked, by means of money. In doing so, she shows that particular forms of money, and the markets within which they circulate, are neither natural or inevitable.

William Cobbett was a 19th century English writer, politician and campaigner, at a time when England was on the verge of riots and revolution, and many lived in extreme poverty. Born in 1763, Cobbett started off as a ploughboy, educated himself to run a best-selling newspaper, wrote beautifully accurate descriptions of the countryside which were to form his classic book Rural Rides, and later in life, even became a member of parliament. But it was for his sharp-tongued criticism of the British establishment that William Cobbett became most famous, exposing the corruption and hypocrisy of a system that favoured the rich over the poor, and in 1810, Cobbett was even jailed for his writings for two years, when he condemned the flogging of soldiers who were protesting about their pay. William Cobbett was often greeted by adoring crowds wherever he went, but some of his populist ideas and his dream of a return to an idealised vision of England's past, also makes him a controversial and divisive figure today. Joining Bridget Kendall is Ruth Livesey, Professor of English Literature at Royal Holloway, University of London; Dr Richard Thomas, chairman of the William Cobbett society and co-editor of “The Opinions of William Cobbett” with James Grande and John Stevenson; and Katharine Stearn, the editor of “Cobbett's New Register” and lecturer on Cobbett for the Workers' Educational Association. With the participation of Dr Mihika Chatterjee, lecturer in International Development at the University of Bath in the UK. Produced by Anne Khazam for the BBC World Service.

Tarek El Diwany's book “The Problem with Interest” has attracted attention from scholars of Islamic finance and bitcoiners alike, including Allen Farrington, whose newly published book, Bitcoin Is Venice, draws heavily on Tarek's work. In this episode, Saifedean hosts Tarek and Allen to talk about the morality of lending with interest, why the practice is prohibited in Islam, and how an economy would function without interest rates. They discuss how monetary systems that require the creation of ever more debt impact human time preference, capital accumulation and morality, and whether interest would emerge in a free market monetary system like bitcoin?ResourcesTarek's book The Problem with InterestKreatoc Zest's website.Saifedean's podcast episodes on Islamic finance with Safdar Alam and Harris Irfan. Article on William Cobbett's opposition to suspension of the gold standard during the Napoleonic Wars.Selected Writings on Economics by Nassau Senior.See Plato's Laws, Book 5 and Aristotle's Politics, Book I, 10, no. 5 for Ancient Greek views on usury.A History of Interest Rates by Sidney Homer and Richard Sylla.Allen Farrington's book Bitcoin is Venice on Amazon.Saifedean's podcast episode Allen Farrington's adventures with Fiat Intellectuals.Saifedean's podcast episode Bitcoin Strategy with Michael Saylor.Saifedean's first book, The Bitcoin StandardSaifedean's second book, The Fiat StandardEnjoyed this episode?

The Friday Newsletter |  Daily Gardener Community   Friends of the Garden Meeting in Athens, Georgia Register Here   Historical Events 1763 Birth of William Cobbett, English writer, Member of Parliament, and farmer.  In Parliament, Wlliam fought for agrarian reform. He did this through his regular writings called Rural Rides, where he shared what he saw while taking horseback rides throughout rural England. William never forgot his rural roots, and he was a lifelong gardener. He once wrote, How much better during a long and dreary winter, for daughters, and even sons, to assist, or attend, their mother, in a green-house, than to be seated with her at cards, or, in the blubberings over a stupid novel, or at any other amusement that can possibly be conceived. And he also wrote,  If well-managed, nothing is more beautiful than the kitchen garden.   1845 Birth of Wilhelm Friedrich Philipp Pfeffer, German botanist and plant physiologist. Wilhelm was born in his father's apothecary. He grew up and learned every aspect of the business, which had been in his family for generations. One of his childhood friends noted, In those days, it was not yet customary to obtain drugs in cut and powdered form; thus, he spent hours cutting roots and herbs and pulverizing dried drugs with a heavy pestle in a mortar. In addition to life at the A=apothecary, Wilhelm loved collecting plants in the Alps. His early study of plants and his natural curiosity set the stage for his in-depth plant experiments as an adult. In terms of plant physiology, he's remembered for the Pfeffer pot or pepper pot to measure osmotic pressure in plant cells.   1874 Birth of Karl Foerster, German plant breeder, writer, and garden designer. When Karl turned 18, he took over his family's Berlin nursery, which was a bit of a mess. Karl quickly streamlined the business by simplifying his plant inventory. Although Karl loved all plants, he was especially drawn to tough, low-maintenance, hardy perennials. Karl used three factors to determine whether a plant would be sold in his nursery: beauty, resilience, and endurance. Today, Karl is most remembered in Karl Foerster Grass. The story goes that Karl was on a train when he spied the grass growing along the tracks. Karl frantically pulled the emergency brake, stopped the train, and quickly collected the specimen that now bears his name. In 2001, Karl Foerster grass was the Perennial Plant of the Year. Karl's plant standards and his appreciation for low maintenance spaces with year-long seasonal interest helped shape the New German Garden Style of garden design. A Karl Foerster garden had some signature plants: grasses, delphinium, and phlox. Naturally, all of these plants were favorites in Karl's breeding work. Karl once wrote, Grasses are the hair of mother earth. And he also wrote, A garden without phlox is not only a sheer mistake but a sin against summer. Karl lived to the ripe old age of 96. And looking back, it's staggering to think that Karl spent nearly nine decades gardening, and it was Karl Foerster who said, In my next life, I'd like to be a gardener once again.  The job was too big for just one lifetime.   1892 Birth of Vita Sackville-West, English author and garden designer. In 1930, Vita and her husband, the diplomat, and journalist Harold Nicolson, bought Sissinghurst Castle - at least what was left of it. Together, they restored the house and created the famous garden, which was given to the National Trust in 1967. Vita explored the depths of her own creativity as she shaped the gardens at Sissinghurst. When she came up with the idea for a Sunset Garden, she wrote, I used to call it the Sunset Garden in my own mind before I even planted it up. Vita's Sunset Garden included flowers with warm citrus colors, like the yellows, oranges, and reds of Dahlia's Salvias Canas and tulips. Vita also created a White Garden – one of the most difficult Gardens to design, maintain and pull off. Why is that? Well, the main reason is that, after flowering, most white blooms don't age well; they turn brown or yellow as they wither and die on the plant. But I have to say that ten years ago, I did help a friend install a white garden. And when it was in bloom, it really was spectacular. During World War II, there came a point when Vita and Harold were convinced that a German invasion of Britain was likely. Vita planted 11,000 daffodils, a message of defiance to the enemy. In 1955, Vita was honored with the Veitch Memorial Medal. She died seven years later in 1962. She once wrote, The waking bee, still drowsy on the wing,  Will sense the opening of another year  And blunder out to seek another spring.   Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation The Art of Edible Flowers by Rebecca Sullivan  This book came out in 2018, and the subtitle is Recipes and ideas for floral salads, drinks, desserts, and more.

In 1980, he won the Pritzker Prize, the highest award in architecture. In 1948 he designed and built his own home with cement after being inspired by local modernist architecture. In 2004, the Luis Barragan house was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In addition to architecture, Luis loved landscapes. He once wrote, I don't divide architecture, landscape and gardening; to me they are one. And he also wrote, A garden must combine the poetic and he mysterious with a feeling of serenity and joy.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.

“The Burnley Sensation” as it was now becoming known had caused a great stir not only in Burnley but also that of Manchester and not even the hustle and bustle of daily life could conceal the fact that something of unusual importance was about to take place, and on Friday the 6th October 1893, Minshull Police Court in Manchester would be the setting of what was quickly escalating into the crime of the decade. The public's appetite for curiosity had been whetted by recent ‘rumours' that sensational new evidence had been found that would incriminate both Ashworth Read and Elizabeth Remington for the willful murder of a child and as people made their way to the court house, the only topic of conversation on their lips was, where they innocent or guilty of murder? Minshull Street Police Station was already packed with groups of people all eager to hear the lurid details of the case hours before the trial started and as soon as the doors were opened, the spacious corridors and staircases leading to the Court were quickly filled and the limited allocation of seats provided for the public gallery would soon be occupied. As the morning advanced, more and more people all made their way to the court house. This was a case that no-one wanted to miss! Taking to their seats, members of the press where first into the court but seats at a premium, those unlucky enough to arrive late argued with officials, with pushing and shoving taking hold as tempers flared. Next, the police officials involved in the case would make their appearance. Chief Detective Inspector Caminada flitted in and out of the room, seemingly making sure all of his members of staff where ready. Showing an air of authority, he was described by one journalist as being a pleasant looking dark haired, bearded man with an open face and intellectual expression With everyone now in place, the only people next to attend the session where those of Ashworth Read and Elizabeth Remington. However, Mr. William Cobbett, prosecuting on behalf of the police would attend and would ask the judge that the case against Read and Remington may be called in order that he might make an application for a remand. At this point, the members of press looked around, stunned at what they were hearing. Nothing was known to any of them and the request for a remand seemed to literally come out of nowhere. A hush came over the gallery as the name ‘Read' was made out. A few seconds later and the footsteps of newcomers into the court could be heard making their way into the dock. Standing with their heads bent down, Read and Remington appeared to the wide eyed open spectators all yearning for the details of their crime to be heard in detail for the first time. Elizabeth was a well-built, tall looking young woman and it was clearly obvious to all that she had been crying for some considerable time. Each time she wiped away the tears from her face, more appeared just as quickly. Her face was slightly obscured by a hat trimmed with velvet, relieved by a small feather and the upper portion of her body was covered in a grey looking shawl that covered her neck and jaw line. Stood next to her was Ashworth Read, dressed in a smart looking brown suit that gave the impression of a successful business man and an aura of authority. His thin, shallow face was partially covered with a long beard and it seemed that recent events had given him a haggard appearance.

This talk examines the links between Benjamin Rush's autobiography ‘Travels through Life' and his protracted feud with the English journalist, politician and agriculturalist William Cobbett. The rhetorical strategies used by Rush to defend his character and medical practice, and the influence of his autobiography on later physician-writers are also explored. Speaker: Dr Catherine Jones (University of Aberdeen)
