The Tory Origin Of Free Trade Policy (1897)

The Tory Origin Of Free Trade Policy is a historical book written by William James Ashley and published in 1897. The book explores the origins of free trade policy in Great Britain, tracing its roots back to the Tory party and its leaders in the early 19th century. Ashley argues that free trade was not a product of liberal or progressive thinking, but rather a conservative idea that emerged as a response to the economic challenges of the time. He examines the political and economic context in which free trade policies were developed, including the role of key figures such as Robert Peel and Richard Cobden. The book also explores the impact of free trade on British society and its global influence. Overall, The Tory Origin Of Free Trade Policy provides a detailed and nuanced analysis of the origins of one of the most significant economic policies in modern history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
