The Classical Economists and the Factory Acts

Kenneth O. Walker

The Journal of Economic History, 1941, vol. 1, issue 2, 168-177

Abstract: Between 1815 and 1850, the economic policy of England was marked by several far-reaching reforms advocated by Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and their disciples. Revision of monetary and banking policy, abandonment of the archaic Navigation Acts, and eventual repeal of the Corn Laws, all bear the unmistakable impress of the influence of the classical economists.
