"The financial crisis of 1931 marked a turning point in British economic foreign policy, as decades of laissez-faire principles were abandoned and an active interventionist policy was introduced. This book, first published in 1936, provides an in-depth analysis of the change in Britain's policies, and the effects these changes had on the various aspects of foreign trade."--Provided by publisher.
