Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This volume explores a contested topic of economic policy - free trade versus protectionism. The discussions therein take place between Harold Cox, the secretary of the Cobden Club, a group that promotes free trade, and Ernest E. Williams, renowned for his protectionist viewpoint. Their 12 published articles investigate the historical evolution of British trade policy, with an emphasis on the 19th and 20th centuries, when most of its global empire was acquired. The result is a comprehensive examination of free trade and protectionism, centering on the strengths and shortcomings of each system and their respective impact on a nation's prosperity. It assesses the arguments for protectionism, including safeguarding infant industries, preventing dumping, and protecting national security, while examining refutations, particularly concerning consumer costs and technological innovation. The authors also examine the impact of protectionism on employment, wages, and economic growth, addressing the question of whether protectionist policies can create jobs and raise living standards. Ultimately, this book provides valuable insights into the complex relationship between international trade and national well-being, offering thought-provoking historical context to contemporary debates on trade policy.
