Description and Table of Contents

Description

The importance of the Manchester School lies in its association with the advocacy of free-trade and laissez-faire. Many of the arguments, issues and key concepts, such as protectionism versus free trade are still with us today, which is why the Manchester School is of such contemporary relevance.
