Abstract
Between 1846 and 1880 an unprecedented number of economic relationships were established worldwide, so much so that these years were defined as the age of free trade. Britain's repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846 is the symbol of that era, opening the door to the principles outlined by Adam Smith in The Wealth of Nations fifty years earlier. Those measures had been anticipated by the free trade movement whose undisputed leader was Robert Peel. On becoming Prime Minister, Peel launched his liberal customs reform, marking the next thirty years as the golden age of international free trade.File in questo prodotto:
