Russian translation of the book "War, Wine, and Taxes" by John Nye has been published

Gaidar Institute Press has published the Russian translation of the book "War, Wine, and Taxes: The Political Economy of Anglo-French Trade, 1689-1900" by John Nye, Leading Research Fellow at CInSt and Professor of Economics at George Mason University. The original book was published in 2007 by Princeton University Press.

In War, Wine, and Taxes, John Nye debunks the myth that Britain was a free-trade nation during and after the industrial revolution, by revealing how the British used tariffs — notably on French wine — as a mercantilist tool to politically weaken France and to respond to pressure from local brewers and others. The book reveals that Britain did not transform smoothly from a mercantilist state in the eighteenth century to a bastion of free trade in the late nineteenth.
