Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Return to Protection
A second edition being called for at a time when I have little right to be thinking of anything but my work as one of the Royal Commissioners on the Poor Laws, I have contented myself with adding a few notes, for the most part bringing the more important statistics up to date. I have not made any material alteration on the former edition.
Nor do I think it necessary. The case for Free Trade has only been strengthened by the events of the past two years, and, although I might change the form, I do not think I should make any change in the substance.

Reseña del editor
Excerpt from The Return to Protection
This book is based on a series of lectures delivered to popular audiences in Glasgow and Edinburgh during February and March of the present year. I had no thought or intention of publishing them, and I have done so only in deference to the many friends and hearers who urged it on me.
Those - if there are any - who read this in future years, may be reminded that it was written during the universal discussion which accompanied and followed Mr. Chamberlain's propagandism of Preferential Tariffs, and Mr. Balfour's advocacy of Retaliation. It seemed to me that both these proposals led back to the system discarded in 1846, and that any adequate discussion of the must begin with some consideration of the theory of international trade and of the principles which underlie the rival policies.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex world of international trade by delving into the fundamental principles that govern its practice. The author begins by establishing that trade is, at its core, an exchange of services between nations. These services are manifested in material goods, leading to the cooperative specialization and competition characteristic of the industrial landscape. The author then examines two rival approaches to international trade policy: protectionism and free trade. Protectionism, the author argues, is a misguided attempt to shield domestic industries from foreign competition, which ultimately leads to stagnation and inefficiency. Free trade, on the other hand, promotes economic growth and innovation by fostering competition and encouraging the division of labor between nations. The book concludes by challenging the argument that free trade benefits only the wealthy and powerful, demonstrating that it is, in fact, essential for the prosperity of all. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
