| Summary | "The Grounds of an Opinion on the Policy of Restricting the Importation of Foreign Corn; intended as an Appendix to 'Observations on the Corn Law'" by the Rev. T.R. Malthus is a political economy treatise written in the early 19th century, during a time when public policy regarding agricultural trade was a hotly debated issue in England. The book examines the arguments for and against the restriction of foreign corn imports amidst fluctuating domestic prices and agricultural challenges, ultimately presenting Malthus's reasoning for supporting some level of restrictions on imports to safeguard the agricultural sector and national wealth. In this work, Malthus reviews the consequences of both unrestricted grain trade and the proposed protections for domestic agriculture. He references recent agricultural distress resulting from low grain prices and highlights the need for a stable domestic supply to support a growing population. Malthus discusses the potential economic fallout from a reliance on foreign supplies, pointing to the specific legislative actions of neighboring countries and the impact on British farmers and laborers. His conclusions are carefully reasoned, advocating for a cautious balance between free trade and agricultural protectionism to mitigate national risks while considering the interests of diverse societal classes affected by these policies.
