De engelske kornlovene 1815–1846 ble initiert for å beskytte grunneiernes kommersielle inntekter; matkrisen i Frankrike i 1770 for å øke overskuddet på kongens jord; hungersnøden i Bengal i 1770 for å øke East India Companys profitt. Eksemplene indikerer hvordan fattigdom og sult i perioden 1750–1850 kunne skyldes kommersielt maktmisbruk som skadet allmennheten, samtidig som grunneiere og næringslivsinteresser tjente på det. Essayet understreker hvordan progressive økonomer på den tiden foreslo å bruke frihandel for å temme det kommersielle maktmisbruket. Venstresiden agiterte for marked heller enn monopol. Høyresiden agiterte for privilegier heller enn konkurranse. Abstract in English:Market, Power, and Countervailing Forces – in the Time of Adam Smith, Henry Hunt, and Henry GeorgeThe English Corn Laws, 1815–1846, were initiated to protect landowners’ commercial rents; the 1770 food crisis in France to raise the surplus on the King’s land; the 1770 famine in Bengal to raise the profits of the East India Company. These examples indicate how poverty and starvation in the period 1750–1850 could be caused by commercial power abuse, harming the public but benefiting landowners and commercial interests. The essay emphasizes how progressive economists at the time recommended free trade to tame the commercial abuse. The left agitated for markets rather than monopoly. The right agitated for privileges rather than competition
