Synopsis

Rethinking Britain’s trade and taxes for a changing world.

This concise survey examines how fiscal policy shapes national prosperity, trade, and industry, with attention to free trade, protection, and the Empire.

The book argues that a nation’s wealth comes not only from its resources but from how it uses policy to guide production, imports, and exports. It explores how geography, sea power, and international competition interact with taxation and tariffs to influence growth, living standards, and the fate of British industry.
  • How free trade and protection affect prices, consumers, and industry.
  • The role of colonies and India in Britain’s broader trade pattern.
  • Why imports matter for national prosperity, even when domestic resources seem ample.
  • Key ideas about colonial preferences, tariffs, and the future of the Empire’s trade.
Ideal for readers of economic history and policy debates who want a clear, practical view of Britain’s trade challenges and options.
