‘Overall it is a nicely produced volume. . . . this will be a worthwhile acquisition.’
– Roger E. Backhouse, History of Economic Thought
‘Bloomfield is a serious and thoughtful scholar, and these excellent essays certainly deserve the wider audience which their publication in book form will afford them.’
– D.P. O’Brien, The Economic Journal
Featuring eight essays written between 1938 and 1992, the volume includes essays on aspects of trade theory in nineteenth century Britain. These papers contradict the customary view that trade theory in this period was essentially static in character and reveal that many early theorists had a lively interest in the dynamic aspects of the field, such as the influence of technological change on international specialization and the influence of foreign trade and investment on growth. The volume also includes papers examining the foreign trade theories of Adam Smith and Jacob Viner, as well as work on the international trade theories of French economists from the 18th century Physiocrats to those working in the latter nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
