Bag om Protection Or Free Trade
Protection or Free Trade: An Examination of the Tariff Question (1886) is a book written by George Henry, a prominent American economist and social reformer of the 19th century. The book provides a thorough analysis of the economic implications of protectionism and free trade policies, with a focus on the United States.Henry argues that protectionism, which involves imposing tariffs on imported goods to protect domestic industries, ultimately harms the economy by limiting competition, raising prices, and reducing efficiency. He advocates for free trade, which involves removing barriers to international trade, as a means of promoting economic growth, increasing competition, and reducing prices for consumers.The book also delves into the political and social implications of protectionism and free trade, exploring the ways in which these policies impact different classes and groups within society. Henry argues that protectionism primarily benefits the wealthy and powerful, while free trade benefits the working class and promotes greater equality.Overall, Protection or Free Trade is a seminal work in the field of economics and an important contribution to the ongoing debate over trade policy. Its arguments and insights continue to be relevant today, as countries around the world grapple with the challenges and opportunities of globalization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
