Excerpt from Exports and Imports, as Showing the Relative Advancement of Every Nation in Wealth, Strength, and Independence
The September number of Hunts Merchants Magazine contains some very interesting statistics in regard to the commerce of Great Britain. It seems that England imports annually, to feed her population, grain and produce to the amount of over $12,000,000, Of this food, a large part is exported in the shape of cotton cloth, the export of which, in 1857, reached near to 2,000,000,000 yards, valued at about $140,000,000.
First on the list stands the East Indies, then Brazil, then the United States, then Turkey, and then China. The United States seems to be in rather odd company, two of these nations being Pagan and half civilized, one Mahommedan and fast going to decay, and the fourth not much advanced beyond either of the others. England has persuaded them, however, as well as ourselves, of the admirable working of free trade; and we find ourselves standing high on the list. We may hope to rival Brazil, but can hardly expect to come up to the East Indies, which are entirely under English control.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the comparative economic strength of nations through detailed statistics on imports and exports. The author argues that nations that export finished goods are wealthier and more powerful than those that export raw materials. The author supports this theory by comparing England, France, and the United States, demonstrating that those with higher exports of manufactured goods have greater wealth and influence. The author contends that nations that rely on exporting raw materials remain poor and weak, highlighting the disparity between developed and developing nations. By exploring the economic histories of various countries, the book reveals a pattern linking a nation's wealth and power to its manufacturing capabilities and challenges the idea of free trade as universally beneficial. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
