Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the struggle to establish free trade in England, which involved overturning centuries of protectionist policy. In tracing the movement from its origins in the 1820s, the author presents a cast of fascinating characters such as Cobden and Villiers who led the fight against the landed aristocracy, who sought to maintain their monopoly in the wheat trade through the Corn Laws. This book captures the drama of parliamentary debates and public meetings where arguments over tariffs and import duties raged, ultimately resulting in the repeal of the Corn Laws in 1849. The significance of this legislative victory for England's economy, and by extension, the global economy, cannot be overstated, making this book essential reading to understand the development of free trade.
