About this title

Synopsis

This book is a review of the political economy of the United Kingdom at a time when free markets were reaching a turning point. The author was an advocate of the classical liberal movement and his ideas about free trade, currency, and the gold standard influenced policy for decades to come. The author believed that government intervention was generally counterproductive, and that the free market was capable of regulating itself. The author also believed that the government should reduce taxation and national debt and that the currency should be based on the gold standard. These ideas were controversial at the time, but they eventually became widely accepted, and the author's work remains an important contribution to economic thought.
