Letters on the Corn Laws (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book compiles a series of letters from the author published in a major national newspaper in 1833. The author, a staunch believer in individual liberty and justice, examines the ways in which protecting certain sectors of British industry, such as landowners, at the expense of others, was holding back economic growth and progress. The author explores the historical events and policies that led to the dominance of this protectionist ideology, particularly in the agricultural sector, and exposes the inequities it created within British society. Through an analysis of wages, production, class structure, and currency, the author makes a compelling case for free trade, and argues that the pursuit of self-interest by certain groups in society ultimately undermines the prosperity of the nation as a whole. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330674444_0
