Description
The Forgotten Roots of Free Trade: A New Economic History A new economic history that uncovers the forgotten left-wing origins of economic cosmopolitanism and free trade from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. This book explores how the post-1945 international free-trade regime was established to foster a more integrated, prosperous, and peaceful world. The idea that unhampered trade dovetails with peace has been a cornerstone of global economic policy since its inception. However, this same economic order is now under threat from a global economic nationalist resurgence. The book examines the circumstances under which this ideological marriage of free trade, prosperity, and peace arose, and how it succeeded in becoming the new economic orthodoxy following the Second World War. By understanding the successes and failures of this earlier struggle to reform the economic order, readers can gain valuable insights into today's globalization crisis and its implications for global consumers and regional and world peace.
