>> By the time GB made a turn towards relatively 'free trade' (much towards the later half of the 20th. century... in fact, not really significantly until Maggie Thacher's '80s), there was no longer an empire. << if you won't even agree that britain ushered in free trade with the repeal of the corn laws then there is no need for further discussion. i have discussed this ad infinitum as well. do a search on this thread and you will find numerous references by me showing that britain practiced free trade a century and a half ago.
