Excerpt from The Case for Protection
This book makes no afiectation of judicial im partiality. As its title claims, it is an attempt, according to the best of the writer's poor judgment and ability, to set forth the case for that system of national finance, for over half a century maligned in this country, known as Protectionism. But, in admitting this much, the writer does not admit that his brief for Protection contains any special pleading or strained argument. Here and there, in the course of the work, points might have been made against the Free-traders which have not been made, because the writer has been anxious not to score more dialectical triumphs, and still more anxious to avoid making a point which was open to a counterpoint. His earnest desire has been to present.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book takes on the topic of protectionism, the economic policy historically implemented by many nations, including England, and argues for its reestablishment in the present day. The author, an advocate for protectionism, believes that global free trade has weakened England's self-sufficiency and damaged its capacity for producing its own food and other essential goods, making it dangerously reliant on imports. The author posits that protectionism is not just an economic policy, but a patriotic one, necessary for a nation to maintain control over its own destiny, and that free trade, while beneficial for spreading goods and ideas in some circumstances, in others can be harmful. By examining historical examples and economic principles, the author argues that the government has a duty to assist domestic industry, and that protectionism is the best means of ensuring the preservation and prosperity of the nation.
