It says something about Britain that one of its best-loved ships, the Cutty Sark, was built for trade. Launched in 1869 at the peak of British commercial power, the Cutty Sark was a response to globalization. The abolition of protectionist laws had opened China-to-Britain shipping routes to fast American boats, capable of winning the lucrative annual race to London with the new tea harvest. Something close to a Cutty Sark vision for Britain--nimble, free and ready to roam the globe in pursuit of profits--fills the dreams of Conservative politicians and policy types. As it happens, there is nothing wrong with trying to sell more to emerging powers. As was glumly noted on April 11th when David Cameron arrived in Indonesia with three ministers and a score of business leaders in tow, that country--the fourth most populous on earth--currently buys less than 0.2% of Britain's exports. Half of all British exports still go to the European Union (EU). Britain exports more to Ireland than to Brazil, Russia, India and China put together: a situation that the chancellor of the exchequer, George Osborne, calls a road to "economic irrelevance".
