Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the contentious policies introduced in 1846 which eliminated tariffs on imported foodstuffs and raw materials coming into Britain. The author, writing from the vantage point of the late 19th century, contends that the termination of import tariffs ultimately damaged British industry, agriculture, and its geopolitical position. The author warns that without protective tariffs, Britain risked becoming economically dependent on other nations and vulnerable to their commercial and political interests. The author's insights into the consequences of a nation's trade policy on its overall strength and autonomy offer valuable lessons for understanding the complex relationship between economics and national sovereignty.
