Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a history of the successful effort to repeal Englandâs highly protective Corn Laws, which imposed tariffs on imported grain to benefit local landowners. The author discusses the Corn Lawsâ impact on British society. The book provides context for the laws by explaining how, for centuries, Englandâs government used protectionist policies to give special privileges to certain industries at the expense of others. The author also describes the emergence in the 1830s of the Anti-Corn Law League, a powerful organization that campaigned to repeal the Corn Laws. Ultimately, the campaign succeeded in 1846. The author argues that the repeal was a triumph of free trade and that the bookâs lessons are applicable to contemporary debates about the benefits and drawbacks of protectionism. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
