Synopsis
A clear, accessible case for protection in plain language.
This nonfiction work argues that a modern state should aim to be economically self-contained and to protect its own industries. It explores how protection can support food production, manufacturing, and employment, while balancing trade and wealth for the nation as a whole.
Readers will find a practical framework for understanding why a country might safeguard its industries, not as a blanket endorsement of protectionism, but as a strategic tool to sustain prosperity, healthful work conditions, and national strength. The book also addresses common counterarguments, presenting evidence and reasoning in a straightforward, non-academic style.
- Foundational ideas about the state’s role in protecting life, property, and the economy.
- A case for self-sufficiency in essential goods and the health of national industries.
- Comparative discussion of historical trends in manufacturing and trade.
- Addressing common Free-trade arguments with direct reasoning and examples.
Ideal for readers of economic policy, history of trade, and those curious about how public policy can shape a nation’s industrial future.
