The argument about the limits of Free Trade or Protectionism rages
throughout the world to this day. Following the Repeal of the Corn
Laws in 1846, free trade became one of the most distinctive
defining features of the British state, and of British economic,
social, and political life. While the United States, much of the
British Empire, and the leading European Powers turned towards
protectionism before 1914, Britain alone held to a policy which had
seemingly guaranteed power and prosperity. This book seeks to
explain the political history of this tenacious loyalty. While the
Tariff Reform opponents of free trade have been much studied, this
is the first substantial account, based on a wide range of printed
and archival sources, which explains the primacy of free trade in
nineteenth- and early-twentieth century Britain. It also shows that
by the centenary of the Repeal of the Corn Laws in 1946, although
British free traders lamented the death of Liberal England, they
heralded, under American leadership, the rebirth of the liberal
international order.
