TUCKER (Josiah).
Reflections on the Present Low Price of Coarse Wools, its immediate causes, its probable remedies.
First edition of this pamphlet in which Tucker expresses his opinion upon the falling price of this staple production. Tucker was an ardent free-trader and his “aim was to encourage high productivity which would lead, in turn, to lower prices, increased demand, and more jobs. Anything which obstructed the free circulation of labour and capital, especially regulations supporting vested interests, should be eliminated” (New Palgrave).
