Wealth and Welfare: Or Our National Trade Policy and Its Cost is a book written by Hastings George Fitzhardinge Berkeley and published in 1887. The book is a critical analysis of the economic policies of the British government during the 19th century, particularly with regards to trade and commerce. Berkeley argues that the government's protectionist policies, which aimed to protect British industries from foreign competition, were ultimately detrimental to the country's economic growth and welfare. Berkeley provides a detailed historical account of the development of British trade policy, from the Navigation Acts of the 17th century to the protectionist policies of the 19th century. He argues that these policies have led to a decline in the country's industrial competitiveness and have resulted in higher prices for consumers. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides a historical overview of British trade policy, while the second part examines the costs and benefits of protectionism. The third and final part proposes a new trade policy based on free trade principles. Overall, Wealth and Welfare is a thought-provoking analysis of British trade policy and its impact on the country's economic growth and welfare. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of trade policy and the debate over protectionism versus free trade.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
