Synopsis

This book examines how tariffs, economic policies that place duties on imported goods, have been applied throughout U.S. history. It details regulatory decisions and debates from the early 19th century up to the present day. These decisions shaped how goods were classified, assessed, regulated, and how the application of such policies has changed. The author discusses how the context of the times, from wars to technological innovations and political power struggles, all contributed to the ever-changing landscape of import duties. The book also delves into the complex and ever-changing definitions of goods and how the goods themselves have changed over time.
