Why was Britain the first country to opt for unilateral free trade
150 years ago? On 16 May 1846, the House of Commons voted to
abolish tariff protection for agriculture - the famous "repeal of
the Corn Laws". Britain then adhered to her free trade policy
despite both her relative economic decline and the protectionist
policies of her leading trade rivals, the USA and Germany. This
four-volume set examines and explains the issues surrounding the
policy shift to free trade and the subsequent persistence of that
policy. This set provides a comprehensive collection of articles
including material on 19th-century British trade policy. It
includes articles and commentaries from contemporary 19th-century
writings and speeches from politicians, economists and other
well-known activists, the Anti-Corn Law League, the first modern
political pressure group and features an analysis of the challenge
to free trade by the Tariff Reform Movement.
