Description

Explore how Adam Smith and nineteenth-century economists constructed the influential free trade tradition that shapes economic thought to this day. This Routledge Studies in the History of Economics volume examines the historical development of free trade ideology and challenges historians to avoid writing history backwards. Lars Magnusson contrasts Britain's economic development with that of the United States and Sweden, revealing how the free trade narrative was deliberately built rather than naturally emerged. Essential reading for students and scholars of economic history, doctrinal history, and the intellectual foundations of modern economics, this work demonstrates why understanding historical construction is vital to comprehending how economic ideas gain authority and persistence across generations.

Key Features

Examines how Adam Smith and other nineteenth-century thinkers constructed the free trade tradition that remains influential today.

Compares Britain's economic approach with the United States and Sweden to reveal different paths in free trade adoption.

Challenges historians to avoid backward-looking analysis and recognise historical construction in doctrinal history writing.

Provides essential context for understanding how economic ideologies become established and shape policy across centuries.
