Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the political life and accomplishments of George Canning. Canning supported relaxing restrictions on commercial trade despite opposition from a powerful party who viewed such innovations with suspicion. Despite Canning's vision of a system of commerce free of interference, he remained pragmatic and ensured that alterations to existing laws were made with discretion to avoid sudden and potentially damaging shifts in how trade was conducted. The author illustrates how Canning's support for these measures, while not without opposition, was instrumental in the passage of significant acts that allowed for manufactured goods to be warehoused for export, facilitated trade between the American colonies and other places in the Americas, and reduced or eliminated altogether the discriminating duties levied against imported goods. The book concludes with an analysis of the financial crisis of 1825 and Canning's role in responding to the resulting economic turmoil.
