The author contends that the shift toward free trade in the late 18th century was driven by a new school of economic thought that emphasized the benefits of competition in improving industrial quality and lowering consumer prices. The book details the debates about the efficacy of prohibiting certain imports, particularly British goods, and traces the development of more liberal trade policies that ultimately led to the 1786 Anglo-French commercial treaty. This treaty marked a significant step in the movement towards free trade and laid the groundwork for the broader economic reforms that would emerge in the following decades.
