Free Trade Versus Fair Trade (1885)

Free Trade Versus Fair Trade is a book written by Thomas Henry Farrer in 1885. The book explores the ongoing debate between free trade and fair trade, and the impact of each on the global economy. Farrer argues that free trade, which advocates for the removal of trade barriers and tariffs, is the most effective way to promote economic growth and prosperity. He also examines the concept of fair trade, which seeks to ensure that workers are paid fair wages and that products are produced in a sustainable and ethical manner. Farrer argues that while fair trade is a noble idea, it can often lead to protectionism and hinder economic growth. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the benefits and drawbacks of both free trade and fair trade, and offers insights into the ongoing debate over trade policy. It remains a valuable resource for economists, policymakers, and anyone interested in the global economy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
