Synopsis

This book explores the history of protectionism and its far-reaching consequences through the prism of a single industry: sugar. The author delves into the unethical practices and corrupting influence of protectionist policies, tracing their impact on the sugar industry and beyond. Through historical examples, the author demonstrates how protectionism fosters monopolies, stifles competition, and leads to higher prices for consumers. The book also examines the role of lobbying and campaign contributions in shaping protectionist policies, arguing that these practices undermine democratic principles and lead to a vicious cycle of corruption. Ultimately, this book provides a compelling case for the dangers of protectionism and offers valuable insights into its enduring effects on society and the economy.
