He also criticizes the party's foreign policy, particularly its handling of the Eastern Question, which he believes was a blunder.The book also addresses social issues, such as the treatment of the working class and the education system. The author argues that the Conservative Party was more interested in maintaining the status quo than in addressing these issues.Overall, Plundering and Blundering: A Political Retrospect, 1874-1879 is a well-researched and thought-provoking book that provides a valuable insight into the political landscape of England during the late 19th century.
