Formed in 1839, the Anti-Corn Law League was one of the most important campaigns to introduce the ideas of economic liberalism into mainstream political discourse in Britain. Seeking the abolition of a tariff barrier that buttressed the economic and political power of the land-owning aristocracy, the League presented itself as the vanguard of the emerging industrial middle class in Victorian Britain. Its aspiration for free trade played a crucial role in defining the agenda of 19th-century liberalism and shaping the modern British state. The League's faith in the free market has had resonances in the debates debates over public policy in Britain during recent years, and it also set the pattern for individuals and groups which have stood outside the Establishment articulating alternative visions of society. This study of the Anti-Corn Law League makes use of recent methodological developments in social history.

It seems common wisdom that in order for a business to succeed internationally it should first have reached a certain size, resource base, and a high level of domestic market intensity. However, this book provides in-depth acounts of seven innovative micro-enterprises that chose to bypass these steps, attaining remarkable overseas success despite severe knowledge and resource constraints. It demonstrates to managers how the most diminutive of enterprise forms can penetrate the foreign market through nurturing and leveraging key relationships in their value chain. More importantly, the detailed longitudinal retrospections of each micro-enterprise reveal that those adopting a social exchange (trust based) instead of a transaction cost (contracts based) approach to relationship development attain better international outcomes overall. It should also serve to remind policy makers and public funding agencies alike of how worthy of support some micro-enterprises are. In fact, given that they make up around 90% of businesses in most industrialised economies, their importance to economic development should not be overlooked.
