Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed account of a public meeting held in 1898 to discuss the implementation of 'Fiscal Reform' as a means of improving the economy. The meeting was chaired by the Lord Mayor of York and addressed by the prominent politician J.W. Lowther. The author discusses the state of British trade and agriculture during the late 19th century, exploring the challenges and opportunities presented by the global economy. Lowther argues that the country's existing free trade policies are no longer sufficient to protect domestic industries and ensure a reliable food supply. He proposes a shift towards protectionism, including tariffs on imported goods and preferential trading agreements within the British Empire. The book provides valuable insights into the historical development of economic policy in Britain and the ongoing debate over the merits of free trade versus protectionism. It highlights the complex factors that shape economic decision-making and the need for ongoing discussion and adaptation in response to changing circumstances.
