Nye on Wine, War and Trade

John Nye talks with Russ Roberts about his book, War, Wine, and Taxes. They cover the history of Britain and France's trade policy, why the British drink beer, and Ricardo's example of trading wool for wine. Nye argues that France was more of a free trader than Britain and that the repeal of the Corn Laws was not the dividing line between Britain's protectionist past and free trade future.
