Free Trade Versus Fair Trade (1885)

By Thomas Henry Farrer, Thomas Henry Farrer Farrer, Thomas Henry Farrer

Book Overview

""Free Trade Versus Fair Trade"" is a book written by Thomas Henry Farrer in 1885. The book explores the debate between free trade and fair trade and provides an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of both systems. Farrer argues that free trade, which involves the removal of all barriers to trade, is the best system for promoting economic growth and prosperity. He also addresses the concerns of those who advocate for fair trade, which seeks to ensure that workers are paid fairly and that environmental standards are upheld. Farrer suggests that while fair trade may have some benefits, it ultimately creates inefficiencies in the market and hinders economic growth. The book provides a historical perspective on the debate between free trade and fair trade and offers insights that are still relevant to contemporary discussions on international trade.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
