How would the reforms in the tenancy system affect agricultural productivity and efficiency and relationship between size of land and agricultural productivity?
Study the changes in Ireland associated with the Cromwellian war. Cromwell didn't have the money to pay returning soldiers. So, he took Irish lands and distributed the land to his soldiers. In turn, the soldiers sold their land to their officers who thereby assembled large estates. I believe that this led to extremely bad management (i.e., absentee management). Ponds filled in. Mills lost their power. Etc.
