Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book proposes that the protective tariffs are an inefficient means of protecting native industries. The author claims that instead of creating wealth, protective tariffs create a drain on the general wealth of a nation. It discusses the principles surrounding protectionism, refutes its so-called arguments, and shows how a protectionist policy actually diverts productive forces from the more profitable channels.
