Excerpt from The Case Against Tariff Reform: A Reply to the Case Against Free Trade, by Archdeacon Cunningham
This book is intended to be, though not exhaustive, E' a general statement of the practical value of Free 2 Trade and oi the inability of Protection or Tariff 35 Reform to deal successfully with the multitude of social problems which increasing industrialisation has brought to the world of to-day. The endea vour has been made throughout, without denying the importance or economic theory, to make it subservient to the facts of industry and trade. It is remarkable that at a time when Protectionist doctrines claim so many adherents the nostrums of the Protectionists are ignored by the army of scientific social investigators whose work is being carried on and is being applied with increasing success in every country. 59 I should like to place on record my indebtedness ES to Mr. Barnard Ellinger, whose trenchant criti <1 cisms and suggestions have for some two years been a constant help; to the numerous journals, especially the Manchester Guardian, Westmin ster Gazette,. Yorkshire Observer, and Investors'

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book scrutinizes the merits and flaws of Free Trade as a national policy, specifically in Britain, against the rising tide of Protectionism and Tariff Reform during its time. The author argues that Free Trade, optimizing each nation's productivity and exchange of goods, is the surest path to material prosperity for all, especially when applied with reciprocity between nations. Criticizing the narrow, self-interested, and ultimately self-destructive views of Protectionists, the author contends that such policies actually hinder their nations' economic growth, increase unemployment, and reduce overall prosperity, while doing nothing to address the real underlying causes of social problems like poverty and inequality. The author argues that these concerns are best addressed through non-protectionist means, such as education, public health, and workers' rights. This book dismisses Protectionism as economically unsound and socially unjust and presents a powerful case for Free Trade as the path to a more prosperous and equitable future.
