Does Free Trade Retard or Improve Development in Developing Countries E

IntroductionThe 19th century international system was a very significant era of the doctrine and formula of free trade. This key date in the 19th century was 1846, the year England repealed the corn truth. The corn laws had protected British aristocrats and farmers from imported corn. Corn at this quantify was used to make bread. This dispute pitted industrialists and many workers against landowners and farmers. The industrialist wanted cheap corn so that the cost of bread would be lowered and they could reduce or reduce workers wages. This would give their products a competitive advantage in international markets over products from nations where the cost of food and wages were expensive. The workers in Britain also supported this law because they wanted to buy cheap bread. David Ricardo, a stock trader and member of parliament, articulated the liberal theory of comparative advantage which made intellectual role for free trade.
