The Curse Of Cobden: Or John Bull Versus John Bright (1885)

By John Buckingham Pope

Book Overview

""The Curse of Cobden: Or John Bull Versus John Bright"" is a book written by John Buckingham Pope and published in 1885. The book discusses the economic policies of Richard Cobden and John Bright, two prominent figures in 19th century British politics who were proponents of free trade and non-interventionist policies. Pope argues that their policies had negative consequences for the British economy, and that they were responsible for the decline of British industry and the rise of unemployment. He also criticizes their support for Irish Home Rule and their opposition to British imperialism. The book is a critique of classical liberal economic theory and a defense of protectionist policies. It is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of British economic thought and the political debates of the Victorian era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
