Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles British commerce from 1763-1792, a period that laid the foundation for Britain's commercial dominance. It reveals the significance of inventors, like Hargreaves, Arkwright, and Crompton, whose innovations transformed cotton-spinning. The author contrasts the progress in cotton with the stagnation in other industries due to the resistance of vested interests and restrictive legislation. It highlights the crucial role of steam-power in revolutionizing manufacturing and the contributions of Wedgwood to ceramics, Priestley in chemistry, and Adam Smith in economics. The book unpacks how canal-building stimulated trade and industry, pushing back against protectionist arguments that it would diminish demand for horses and harm coastal trade. By examining the high price of corn, the author exposes flaws in the corn laws, highlighting the need for free trade to combat scarcity. Overall, this book sheds light on the complex factors that shaped British commerce, offering insights that continue to resonate in contemporary debates on trade and economic policy.
