Considerations upon the East-India trade

Book • 1701
This pamphlet, published in 1701, presents a strong case for free trade and discusses various economic principles that were ahead of its time.

It includes insights on the division of labor, the role of the market, the impact of international trade on resource allocation and productivity, and the effects on economic welfare.

The work was published anonymously due to Martyn's concerns about the political implications of his views.
