The High Price of Bread Shown to Be the Result of Commercial Prosperity ... and the Dangers of a Free Trade in Corn, Pointed Out, by a Warning Voice (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781146326377)

"The High Price of Bread Shown to Be the Result of Commercial Prosperity... and the Dangers of a Free Trade in Corn, Pointed Out, by a Warning Voice" offers a fascinating glimpse into 19th-century economic debates surrounding free trade and its impact on the cost of essential goods. This work, penned under the pseudonym "High Price," likely reflects contemporary concerns about the Corn Laws and their effect on the price of bread, a staple food. The book argues that commercial prosperity paradoxically contributes to elevated bread prices, further suggesting that a free trade policy in corn poses significant dangers.

Providing a historical perspective on economic policy, this book will appeal to readers interested in economic history, the history of trade regulation, and the social impact of economic policies in 19th century Britain.
