Synopsis

This book presents a critical examination of the impact of protective tariffs on wages and social organization, arguing that protectionism ultimately lowers wages and undermines the standard of living. The author traces the history of tariffs in the United States, demonstrating the negative consequences they have had on American industry and workers. The book also explores the relationship between economic policy and the distribution of wealth, arguing that protectionism benefits the wealthy at the expense of the poor. Drawing on historical evidence and economic theory, the author makes a compelling case for free trade as a means to promote economic growth, raise wages, and create a more equitable society.
