Rethink what “cheap” really means for a nation’s economy This concise work argues that true cost goes beyond price tags. It examines how free trade can shift jobs, wealth, and power, and why home production might serve the common good better in the long run.

Two short, focused sections reveal how a country’s choices about protection affect workers, farmers, and manufacturers. It uses Illinois as a practical example to show how buying from abroad can impact domestic industry and living standards.

Clear case for protection as a national policy, not just a class issue

Plain explanations of how trade affects prices, employment, and production

Arguments about the broader social and moral effects of industry choices

Accessible discussion of a historic debate that still influences policy today

Ideal for readers interested in economic policy, history, and how national decisions shape everyday life. This edition provides a provocative perspective on tariff debates and their real-world impact.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a 19th-century treatise on the benefits of protectionism, written during a time of heated debate between supporters of free trade and protectionist policies. The author argues that protectionism is necessary to shelter domestic industries from foreign competition. Drawing from examples such as the decline of the Indian handloom industry due to the influx of cheaper British textiles, the author posits that free trade leads to the destruction of domestic industries, unemployment, and a decline in the overall prosperity of the nation. The author advocates for a system of tariffs and other measures to protect domestic industries and argues that this will ultimately lead to greater economic growth and prosperity. The author also delves into the moral and social implications of protectionism, arguing that it fosters a more diverse and just economy by ensuring that the benefits of economic growth are shared more equitably.
