Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Dynamics of the Fiscal Problem
Only the principles of fiscal policies, as they have been adopted by the chief nations of the world, are there considered, and no definite proposals for a system of taxation are discussed, nor has any question of arrangement been mooted, as such matters still rest in gremz'o It would appear to be the duty of a country, which contemplates an alteration in its trade policy, first to decide upon the broad question of principles, and then to enter intoa choice of the alternatives justifiable by those principles, and, as the first duty has not yet been performed, it is hoped that the somewhat condensed chapters which ensue may prove to be of some assistance to such persons as are eager to know more of the case for a Protective policy than can be gathered from the common form of platform declamation.
It will be seen from the short historical sketch which occupies the first chapter, and which is drawn mainly from Free Trade chronicles, that the original theory of Free Trade, or, more properly, Free Exchange, was never put into practice in any state, and that the biography of that compromise which still trades under the old name is the record of a deduction killed by fact In the next chapter an endeavour has been made to show that those social and industrial forces which are, and have been, consistently active in human nature have rendered equally impossible the application to modern conditions of the still unpractised portion of the Free Trade theory; while the facts and figures which occupy other chapters, and which represent our trading with other nations, are, considered from the dynamic point of view, weighed in the balance and found wanting.
An attempt has been made to point out that any conception of Imperialism which rests only upon the basis of sentiment, and which does not embrace the more material considerations which naturally animate most human actions, is not only false but fatal; and it is argued that the political portion of a scheme for Imperial federation, considered as a thing in itself, is little more than a piece of flimsy idealism.

Excerpt from The Dynamics of the Fiscal Problem
Protection to industry against the harmful influences of unequal conditions in international competition is considered, as their title suggests, in relation to the progressive or, as the case may be, the retrogressive movements which are to be observed throughout the community. In order to understand the reasoning which initiated the present controversy it is necessary to ascertain the directions and to calculate, as far as possible, the resultants of those forces which make themselves everywhere apparent in the social being of our Empire.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of the British fiscal policies from the 18th century wealth of Nations to the early 20th century. The author suggests a distinction between the original theory of Free Trade and the Free Exchange policies that were actually implemented. The author argues that Free Exchange, in its implemented form, could never have been applied to modern conditions and that most of the positive changes to social and economic life during the Victorian era were not caused by Free Exchange. Instead, the author identifies a range of social and economic trends throughout the period as resulting in increasing pressure for protectionist policies. Overall, this book is an insightful look at the varying face of fiscal policy in the UK over the course of time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781333371968_0
