Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Steamships and sail vessels once carried American trade around the globe, but with the rise of railroads and foreign competition, the American merchant marine has diminished. This book argues that unnecessary laws, taxes, and restrictions have caused the decline. It proposes solutions including allowing American companies to buy foreign ships, building them in American yards, and ending discriminatory duties which only serve to cause retaliation from other nations.
