Synopsis

A clear, principled case for Protectionism and tariff reform, rooted in history and economic argument.

Tariff Reform argues that free trade has left Britain exposed to rivals and loss of industrial strength. It traces how various tariff policies around the world have shaped national power, employment, and trade, and it explains why the author believes a protective approach can strengthen manufacturing and empire alike. The book uses examples from different countries to show how duties influence industry, jobs, and markets, and it critiques free-trade thinking as insufficient for defense and long‑term prosperity.

  • How tariffs can affect a nation's economy, jobs, and industrial capacity
  • Differences between free trade, protection, and preferential treatment
  • Arguments about national defense, naval power, and strategic markets
Ideal for readers interested in historical debates on trade policy, economic strategy, and the politics of empire.
