Full Description
The Manchester School is the name given by Disraeli to the leaders of the successful agitation between 1838 and 1846 to abolish the Corn-laws. It was a unique combination of Lancashire mill-owners, humanitarian employers, radical businessmen, London radicals and pacifists. The importance of The Manchester School lies in its association with the advocacy of free-trade and laissez-faire. Described by Marx as the 'official representatives of the bourgeosie' it was in fact a remarkably sucessful coalition which removed a major obstacle in the way of the market. More than historical interest is the interplay between the new economic theories that were emerging and the impact and application of these theories by the new middle-classes to achieve specific aims. Many of the arguments, issues and key concepts, such as protectionism versus free trade, are still with us today which is why the study of The Manchester School is of such contemporary relevance.
