Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the erosion of the American carrying trade at the hands of British and German competitors. The author argues that protectionist shipping policies have hobbled American shipbuilders and led to the dominance of foreign ships in the transatlantic trade. This work draws upon historical precedents, statistical data, and economic theory to advocate for a return to free trade principles in the shipping industry.
