The British Jugernath: Free trade! Fair trade!! Reciprocity!!! Retaliation!!!!

"The British Jugernath: Free trade! Fair trade!! Reciprocity!!! Retaliation!!!!" by Guilford Lindsey Molesworth is a scathing examination of late 19th-century British economic policy, especially its devotion to free trade, depicted as a destructive "Jugernath." The book uses sharp language to argue that free trade has harmed British agriculture and manufacturing, leading to unemployment and hardship, despite the promises of its proponents. It questions the blindness of free trade advocates to the suffering of British workers and the decline of industries, setting the stage for a hard look at economic theories and their consequences. This text is critical, suggesting free trade is a force that, despite promises of prosperity, is tearing apart the very fabric of British society.
