The Trade and Navigation of Great-Britain Considered [By J. Gee]

'The Trade and Navigation of Great-Britain Considered' by Joshua Gee, originally published in the mid-18th century, offers a detailed examination of British economic policy during a period of significant colonial expansion and mercantile competition. This seminal work provides valuable insights into the strategies employed by Great Britain to foster its commercial interests and maintain its dominance in global trade routes. Gee’s analysis covers topics such as the balance of trade, the impact of tariffs, and the significance of naval power in securing trade lanes. This book remains relevant for historians and economists interested in the foundations of modern international trade and the evolution of British economic thought. It provides a window into the complexities of 18th-century commerce and the policies that shaped the British Empire. Its enduring appeal lies in its detailed analysis and its contribution to understanding the dynamics of global trade networks.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
