This week saw the UK publication of Pax Economica by Marc-William Palen (@mwpalen.bsky.social). A comprehensive account of the modern free-trade movement and a timely act of historical reclamation, this book illuminates the forgotten legacy of left-wing advocacy for liberalised markets. #Thread

Pax Economica by Marc-William Palen (@mwpalen.bsky.social) reveals how, for some of its most radical left-wing adherents, free trade represented a hard-nosed critique of imperialism, militarism, and war.

10 Great Historical Books (2)
1) Pax Economica - Marc-William Palen (@mwpalen.bsky.social)
A wonderful recent work, covering an often forgotten history, left wing visions of free trade. Covers: radical liberals, socialist, feminist and radical Christian groups, and reasons for the decline in this thought

Good book.

My brief review: Pax Economica is a really interesting look at the development of international free trade movements focusing on the often neglected roots in the social democratic, feminist, anti-imperialist, and left-wing peace activism of the 19th and early 20th century.

Acclaimed new book turns modern economic history on its head. ow.ly/akbN50R6vNU
