Synopsis
A Collection Of Papers Relating To The East-India Trade: Wherein Are Shewn The Disadvantages To A Nation, By Confining Any Trade To A Corporation With Joint-Stock. Unknown. This early 18th-century pamphlet compiles debates and arguments concerning England's East-India trade, criticizing monopolistic charters and the exclusive trading privileges granted to the East-India Company. The text combines an Introduction that warns against monopolies and the effects of joint-stock trading on commerce, government, and national wealth, with legal-extracts from Lord Chief Justice Pollexfen's arguments in a case against the Company, and extensive paraphrased debates from Parliament in the 1680s and 1690s. It presents the case that free trade promotes cheaper goods, broader participation, and stronger national wealth, while monopolies distort price, enrich a few, and threaten constitutional balance. The collection includes historical references to Magna Charta and Statutes, responses to infidel trade licenses, and considerations of African and Canary trades as broader examples. Overall, it surveys economic theory, political economy, and legal precedent to advocate for open competition and parliamentary reform of trade monopolies.
