Trade as a Science

Trade as a Science, by Ernest John Pickstone Benn, presents a compelling argument for the principles of free trade. Originally published in the early 20th century, this work remains remarkably relevant in today's global economy. Benn advocates for a system where trade flows freely, unburdened by tariffs and restrictions, allowing nations to prosper through specialization and mutual exchange.

Benn's book delves into the historical context of trade policies, examining the impacts of various protectionist measures. He champions the idea that trade is not merely a commercial activity but a science, governed by natural laws of supply and demand. Through clear prose and persuasive reasoning, Benn challenges readers to reconsider conventional wisdom and embrace the potential of unrestricted global commerce.

This edition ensures that Benn's vital insights continue to be accessible to new generations of economists, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of international trade.
