Free trade nation / Frank Trentmann
Titre : Free trade nation : commerce, consumption, and civil society in modern Britain Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Frank Trentmann, Auteur Editeur : Oxford : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2008 Importance : (XIV-450 p Présentation : ill. en coul., cartes, couv. ill. en coul Format : 25 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-920920-0 Note générale : Autre tirage : 2009 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Free trade Great Britain History Social aspects Political commercial. Résumé : Free Trade was one of Britain's defining contributions to the modern world. It united civil society and commerce, and gave birth to consumer power. In this book, Frank Trentmann shows how Free Trade contributed to the growth of democratic culture in Britain - and how it fell apart. Far from the cold economic doctrine of today, in an earlier battle over globalization Free Trade was a passionately held ideal, central to public life and national identity. It inspired popular entertainment and advertising, in seaside resorts, shows, and high streets. It mobilized an alliance of elites and the people, businessmen and working-class women, imperialists and internationalists. Free Trade Nation follows the creation of this culture in nineteenth-century Britain, and its subsequent unravelling in the First World War and the inter-war years, when many of its former supporters now attacked it for sacrificing international stability and domestic welfare at the temple of cheapness. These attacks brought to an end a seminal chapter in history.The popular culture of Free Trade was never to return.For anyone interested in the current problem of globalization, this book offers a vivid and thought-provoking perspective on the success and failure of Free Trade. For champions of trade liberalization, it is a reminder that culture, ethics, and popular communication matter just as much as sound economics. Believers in Fair Trade, by contrast, will be surprised to learn that in the past it was Free Trade, not Fair Trade, that stood for democracy, justice, and peace.
