Synopsis:

Zero Tariffs or No Trade: A Case for Free Trade
By John Pritchett

What if America embraced the boldest economic idea in trade history: zero tariffs-for everyone, or no trade at all?

In this powerful, provocative manifesto, John Pritchett dismantles the myths of protectionism and makes the unapologetic case for a zero-tariff trade regime. Rooted in American tradition and global economic logic, Zero Tariffs or No Trade argues that tariffs are not patriotic-they are hidden taxes on everyday goods, tools of cronyism, and obstacles to innovation.

From the legacy of the Smoot-Hawley disaster to the triumphs of the Walker Tariff and Cordell Hull's reciprocal vision, Pritchett draws on history, economics, and political strategy to show why tariffs persist-and how they can be eliminated. This is not a technocratic book. It is a declaration: trade is freedom.

Inside, you'll discover:

• Why tariffs hurt consumers more than they help domestic industries
• How unilateral tariff elimination can create global leverage
• What historical successes in Britain, New Zealand, and Singapore reveal
• How zero tariffs can support national security, environmental goals, and digital innovation
• A detailed policy blueprint to make zero tariffs a politically viable reality

Whether you're a policymaker, entrepreneur, student, or citizen, this is essential reading for anyone who believes America should lead not with fear, but with freedom.
