Free Land And Free Trade

Free Land and Free Trade: The Lessons of the English Corn Laws Applied to the United States is a book written by Samuel Sullivan Cox and published in 1880. The book discusses the economic policies of free trade and land ownership, drawing lessons from the English Corn Laws and applying them to the United States. Cox argues that free trade and land ownership are essential for a prosperous society. He criticizes protectionist policies, such as the Corn Laws, which were designed to protect British agriculture from foreign competition. Cox believes that such policies only benefit a small group of people at the expense of the rest of society. Cox also advocates for the distribution of land to the people, arguing that land ownership is necessary for a healthy democracy. He believes that the concentration of land ownership in the hands of a few wealthy individuals leads to inequality and political corruption. Throughout the book, Cox uses historical examples to support his arguments. He discusses the impact of the Corn Laws on the British economy and the success of free trade policies in the United States. Free Land and Free Trade is a significant work in the history of economic thought, and its arguments continue to be relevant today. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of economic policy and the debate over free trade and land ownership.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
