Fluctuations Of Currency, Commerce, And Manufactures

The book delves into the economic ramifications of the Corn Laws on Britain's currency, trade, and manufacturing during the early 19th century. James Wilson critiques these laws for causing economic instability and contributing to a high cost of living by protecting local farmers at the expense of broader economic growth. He presents a thorough analysis of the era's economic challenges and advocates for reforms to the Corn Laws. This historical document is significant for understanding the economic debates of its time and is presented as a facsimile reprint.
