He suggests that the United States should learn from the mistakes of England and embrace free trade and open markets. Cox also advocates for the importance of land ownership in the United States. He argues that access to land is essential for economic growth and prosperity, and criticizes the concentration of land ownership in the hands of a few wealthy individuals. Overall, ""Free Land and Free Trade"" is a historical analysis of the Corn Laws and their impact on the United States. It argues for the importance of free trade and land ownership as essential components of a thriving economy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
