Excerpt from The American Lesson: The Free Trade Struggle in England
To keep this book abreast of the debate, I have revised it, and have given some additional facts bearing on the lesson to Americans which is given them in the study of the Free Trade Struggle in England. Had the English arguments for Protection been preserved in Mr. Edison's phonograph, the unwinding of the machine would not have more faithfully reproduced them than they have been reproduced by the American protectionists in the debates in Congress - except ing this one, the foreigner pays the tax. In all the debates in Parliament between 1841 and 1846, I cannot find it of record that any member was foolish enough to think that, or daring enough to say it. M. M. Trumbull.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a history of the successful effort to repeal Englandâs highly protective Corn Laws, which imposed tariffs on imported grain to benefit local landowners. The author discusses the Corn Lawsâ impact on British society. The book provides context for the laws by explaining how, for centuries, Englandâs government used protectionist policies to give special privileges to certain industries at the expense of others. The author also describes the emergence in the 1830s of the Anti-Corn Law League, a powerful organization that campaigned to repeal the Corn Laws. Ultimately, the campaign succeeded in 1846. The author argues that the repeal was a triumph of free trade and that the bookâs lessons are applicable to contemporary debates about the benefits and drawbacks of protectionism. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330763049_0
