The Commercial Policy of England Toward the American Colonies by George L. Beer

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1948. Peter Smith.

: George L. Beer was a versatile scholar, businessman, and revolutionary thinker. Who is regarded as one of the founders of the "imperial school" of early American history. Beer's research into the British Empire and its relationship to its colonies was novel at the time and stood in opposition to prevailing theories. His conclusions, however, have stood the test of time, and were still considered valuable more than a century after he published them in a series of books focusing on the economic history of Great Britain.
