This book takes on the topic of protectionism, the economic policy historically implemented by many nations, including England, and argues for its reestablishment in the present day. The author, an advocate for protectionism, believes that global free trade has weakened England's self-sufficiency and damaged its capacity for producing its own food and other essential goods, making it dangerously reliant on imports. The author posits that protectionism is not just an economic policy, but a patriotic one, necessary for a nation to maintain control over its own destiny, and that free trade, while beneficial for spreading goods and ideas in some circumstances, in others can be harmful. By examining historical examples and economic principles, the author argues that the government has a duty to assist domestic industry, and that protectionism is the best means of ensuring the preservation and prosperity of the nation.
