R. H. Tawney

Richard Henry "R. H." Tawney (/ˈtɔːni/; 30 November 1880 – 16 January 1962) was an English economic historian,social critic,ethical socialist,Christian socialist, and an important proponent of adult education.

The Oxford Companion to British History (1997) explained that Tawney made a "significant impact" in all four of these "interrelated roles".A. L. Rowse goes further by insisting that "Tawney exercised the widest influence of any historian of his time, politically, socially and, above all, educationally".

Early life and Christian faith

Born in Calcutta, British India (present-day Kolkata, India), Tawney was educated at Rugby School. He arrived at Rugby on the same day as William Temple, a future Archbishop of Canterbury, they remained friends for life. He studied modern history at Balliol College, Oxford. The College's "strong ethic of social service" combined with Tawney's own "deep and enduring Anglicanism" helped shape his sense of social responsibility. After graduating from Oxford in 1903, he and his friend William Beveridge lived at Toynbee Hall, then the home of the recently formed Workers Educational Association. The experience was to have a profound effect upon him. He realised that charity was insufficient and major structural change was required to bring about social justice for the poor.

    Tractorsound

    In this song, there is bass, bass, bass.
    Bass, bass, bass.
    Bass is good for plowin',
    So turn it up.
    Gotta plow faster,
    Ain't got no time.
    Run those crops over,
    With this tractor of mine.
    Tractor sound
    Tractor sound
    I drive my tractor 'round.
    Bass, bass, bass.
    Gotta run faster.
    Gotta run faster.
    Cops are here.
    Pesticides they're after.
    Tractor sound
    Tractor sound
    I drive my tractor 'round.
    Tractor sound
    Tractor sound
    I drive my tractor 'round.
    Bass is good for plowin',
