Description: Aims to debunk the myth that Britain was a free - trade nation during and after the industrial revolution by revealing how the British used tariffs as a mercantilist tool to politically weaken France. This book shows that Britain did not transform smoothly from a mercantilist state in the 18th century to a bastion of free trade in the late 19th.
