Protection Or Free Trade: An Examination Of The Tariff Question (1886)

By Henry George

Protection or Free Trade: An Examination of the Tariff Question is a book written by George Henry in 1886. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the economic and political implications of tariffs and free trade policies. The author argues that protectionist policies, which involve imposing tariffs on imported goods, are detrimental to the economy and lead to higher prices for consumers. Henry also highlights the impact of tariffs on international relations and argues that free trade policies promote peace and stability. The book provides a historical context for the development of protectionist policies in the United States and Europe and examines the arguments put forward by proponents of protectionism. The author provides a detailed analysis of the economic and social consequences of tariffs and argues that they are not an effective means of promoting domestic industries. He also provides a critique of the protectionist policies of the British Empire and argues that they are a barrier to the development of international trade. Overall, Protection or Free Trade is a seminal work on the economic and political implications of tariffs and free trade policies. It remains relevant today as countries continue to debate the merits of protectionism versus free trade.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
