Excerpt from The Paper Question
Loans were therefore readily negotiated in Europe, and for a brief period there existed a glare of prosperity well calculated to deceive those who could not appreciate the great fact, that the raising of raw products for distant markets tended to exhaustion of the soil, and was the proper work of the barbarian and the slave, and of those alone.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book profoundly examines the heated debate surrounding the paper duty, which was intended to generate revenue for the US treasury, but had the unintended consequence of enriching American manufacturers at the expense of consumers. The author argues that protectionist policies, far from being harmful, foster competition among domestic producers, leading to lower prices for consumers and increased revenue for the government. By delving into the historical context of paper manufacturing and the broader implications of free trade, the author provides a nuanced perspective on the complexities of economic policy. Throughout, the book challenges conventional wisdom and offers a compelling case for the benefits of protectionism, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the intricacies of economics and its impact on society.
