Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Tory Origin of Free Trade Policy, written by William James Ashley and published in 1897, explores the historical roots of free trade policy in Great Britain. Contrary to popular belief, Ashley argues that free trade was not a product of liberal or progressive thinking, but rather originated from the conservative Tory Party in the early 19th century. Ashley provides a detailed analysis of the political and economic factors that led to the adoption of free trade policies in Britain, including the repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846. He also examines the role of prominent Tory figures such as Robert Peel and William Huskisson in promoting free trade. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of economic policy and the evolution of political ideologies in Britain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
