The American Protectionist's Manual - Giles Badger Stebbins - Bog

The American Protectionist's Manual, written by Giles Badger Stebbins and published in 1883, advocates for protectionism as a means of promoting the growth and independence of American industry. The book argues that protecting domestic industries from foreign competition is essential for the well-being of the American people and the nation as a whole. The author provides a comprehensive overview of protectionist policies and their potential benefits, including increased employment, higher wages, and a stronger economy. The manual also includes detailed discussions of specific industries, such as agriculture, mining, and manufacturing, and how protectionism can benefit each of them. Stebbins argues that free trade policies, which were gaining popularity at the time, would lead to the decline of American industry and the loss of national sovereignty. The American Protectionist's Manual is an important historical document that sheds light on the protectionist ideology that dominated American economic policy in the late 19th century.And British Free Trade, A Delusion And A Peril.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
