Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Through meticulous research and analysis of the historical record, this book skillfully dissects the factors that contributed to the decline of America's once-thriving ocean mercantile marine industry. The author argues that a combination of technological shifts, restrictive trade poli…cies, and a failure to embrace free-market principles led to the United States losing its competitive edge in shipbuilding and shipping. The book traces the history of the industry from the golden age of American maritime dominance to its eventual decline, exploring the complex interplay between government policies, economic trends, and technological innovation. By providing a comprehensive understanding of the causes and consequences of this decline, the book sheds light on the critical importance of free trade and adaptability for the success of any nation's maritime industry.
