The book "Free Trade with India. An Inquiry into the True State of the Question between His Majesty's Ministers, the Honorable East India Company and the Public as to the Justice and Expediency of Free Trade with India" is an important work designed to reveal the key aspects of modern commercial policy. The author, identified as Common Sense, active in 1813, brings to the fore the problem of interaction between government agencies, the East India Company, and the general public in the dispute over the fairness and effectiveness of free trade with India. This book makes a significant contribution to the debate about the economic and political consequences of opening trade routes to India and the resolution of conflicts of interest between the various parties. Once again, the relevance of the topic of free trade and the need to find compromise solutions to promote the promotion of economic interests in the global context is proven.
