By James Wilson

Book Overview

Fluctuations Of Currency, Commerce, And Manufactures: Referable To The Corn Laws is a book written by James Wilson in 1840. The book discusses the impact of the Corn Laws on the currency, commerce, and manufacturing industries in Britain during the early 19th century. The Corn Laws were a series of tariffs and restrictions on imported grain that were designed to protect British farmers from competition. Wilson argues that these laws had a negative effect on the economy by causing fluctuations in currency and trade, and hindering the growth of manufacturing industries. He also suggests that the Corn Laws were responsible for the high cost of living in Britain at the time. The book provides a detailed analysis of the economic conditions of the time and offers suggestions for reforming the Corn Laws to improve the economy. Overall, Fluctuations Of Currency, Commerce, And Manufactures: Referable To The Corn Laws is an important historical document that sheds light on the economic policies and debates of the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
