Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book unpacks the impact of free trade policies on Canada's economy, comparing it to the protectionist policies of the United States. The author argues that Britain's switch to free trade in the 1840s was beneficial to them in the short term, but crippled their ability to compete with other manufacturing powerhouses, such as the US. By analyzing historical trends, the author shows how the US's adoption of high tariffs in the 1860s rapidly expanded its manufacturing base, while Canada's continued reliance on free trade policies kept its economy dependent on resource extraction. The book concludes by urging Canada to adopt more protectionist policies in order to foster domestic manufacturing and reduce its reliance on foreign imports.
