Commenting on the Dissolution of the Monasteries, which he includes in a chapter titled 'The Plunder of the Church' he says, 'In these matters the only true god is Mammon. The sixteenth century showed it abundantly in every decade. Catholic or Protestant, what did it matter when Mammon was sitting in the seat of power?' (p. 131) From the Preface: 'There has been no lack of apologists for the enrichment of the rich at the expense of the rest of the community. (...) The most common defense is that the historian must not judge the doings of those in power, the Establishment, in the sixteenth century by the standards of the twentieth. I do not accept this argument. The plunderers under Henry VIII well knew what they were doing. It was the naked use of power.' (11) This is an excellent study of farming, industry, trade, work, land ownership, corruption, taxation, etc. during the reign of Henry VIII.
