Abstract: Abstract We now come to Robbins’s writings on international economics. Although a knowledge of the Classical literature background is necessary to understand fully Robbins’s writings in virtually any area of economics, the problem is at its most acute in dealing with his writings on international economics. In a sense he carried forward not only the analysis but also the attitudes of the Classical writer he most admired, J. S. Mill, although of course he drew on a far wider range of sources from Hamilton to Senior and Torrens. Thus he advocated international liberalism, putting worldbefore nationalwelfare, attacking nationalism and protectionism, which had their origins in sectional and not class interests.
