The Tariff And Its Evils: Or Protection Which Does Not Protect (1888)

By John H. Allen

Book Overview

""The Tariff And Its Evils: Or Protection Which Does Not Protect"" is a book written by John Henry Allen in 1888. The book is a critical analysis of the tariff system in the United States and its negative impact on the economy. Allen argues that the tariff, which was implemented to protect American industries from foreign competition, has instead led to higher prices for consumers, decreased competition, and a lack of innovation. He also examines the political and social consequences of the tariff, including the influence of special interest groups and the corruption of government officials. The book is a passionate plea for free trade and a call to reform the tariff system in order to promote economic growth and prosperity. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American economic policy and the ongoing debate over 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.
