Opis

This book, originally published in 1937, traces the evolution of the modern orthodox theory of international trade from its beginnings in the revolt against English mercantilism in the 17^th and 18^th centuries, through the English currency and tariff controversies of the 19^th century, to the late 20^th century.

Recenzje

‘The erudition of the historical chapters is immense, but it is never allowed to obscure the main line of the argument, and the book is easily readable throughout.’ Times Literary Supplement
