Cobdenism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cobdenism is an economic theory, focusing on the free market and free trade named for the British statesman and economist Richard Cobden. Whilst the term Cobdenism is largely unused nowadays, and the term Laissez-faire substituted, Cobdenism traditionally has a stronger focus on international free trade and a belief that a result of free trade is world peace.
