Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, published in the mid-18th century, is an impassioned response to the then-recent pamphlet, âThe Plain Reasonerâ, an anonymous work which exhorted the British public to wage a land war against France. Its author, whose ideas were influential within the British government, argued that Britain should increase its debt and taxes to outspend France into submission. In this spirited and informed rebuttal, the anonymous author challenges this view. Analysing the economic and military implications of such a war, he seeks to dispel popular anxieties about French power, painting a picture of France as war-weary, and far from an existential threat. He argues that the economic consequences of a war with France would be severe, and that the resulting impoverishment of the population would make Britain more vulnerable to attack, rather than less. The author goes beyond a simple refutation of a rival argument, however. He sets out his own, alternative foreign policy strategy, based on a recognition of Franceâs relative weakness, and a conviction that diplomacy, rather than war, should be the means of securing Britainâs interests. He argues that the peacetime benefits of trade with France outweigh any military advantages to be gained from war, and that France posed no threat to Britainâs âreligion and libertiesâ. This book is a significant artefact from an important period in British foreign policy, and one which remains relevant today. It is a detailed and well-argued attack on the warmongering factions that would drag Britain into ruinous foreign wars, and a powerful exposition of the virtues of peace, free trade, and diplomacy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334461958_0
