by John Buckingham Pope

Book Overview

The Curse Of Cobden: Or John Bull Versus John Bright is a historical book written by John Buckingham Pope and published in 1885. The book discusses the political and economic impact of the repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846, which was championed by Richard Cobden and John Bright. The author argues that the repeal of the Corn Laws led to the decline of British agriculture and the rise of industrialization, which resulted in the exploitation of workers and the widening of the wealth gap. The book also examines the political ideologies of Cobden and Bright, and their influence on British politics in the 19th century. The author takes a critical stance towards free trade and argues that it has had negative consequences for the British economy and society. The Curse Of Cobden is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of British politics and economics in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
