Six Lectures On The Corn-Law Monopoly And Free Trade (1843)

Six Lectures On The Corn-Law Monopoly And Free Trade is a book written by Philip Harwood and first published in 1843. The book is a collection of six lectures that Harwood delivered on the topic of the Corn-Law Monopoly and Free Trade. The Corn-Law Monopoly was a system of tariffs and restrictions on the import of grain into Britain, which protected domestic producers from foreign competition. Free Trade, on the other hand, was a movement that advocated for the removal of these tariffs and restrictions, in order to promote international trade and competition.In his lectures, Harwood argues in favor of Free Trade, and criticizes the Corn-Law Monopoly as a hindrance to economic growth and prosperity. He discusses the history and origins of the Corn-Law Monopoly, and its effects on British agriculture and industry. He also examines the arguments made by supporters of the Monopoly, and refutes them with evidence and logic.Harwood's lectures are written in a clear and accessible style, and are aimed at a general audience. The book is an important historical document, as it provides insight into the debates and controversies surrounding Free Trade and the Corn-Law Monopoly in the mid-19th century. It is also relevant to contemporary discussions about trade policy and globalization.Delivered At The London Mechanics¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ Institution, Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
