Excerpt from Protection and Free Trade to-Day: At Home and Abroad, in Field and Workshop
In the course of this tour I covered the principal coal, iron, steel, mining, cotton, woollen, worsted, silk, and flax industries of the Empire; and after this investigation am prepared to establish the facts of the industrial progress of Germany since the government abandoned the policy of free trade and returned to protection.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the economic policies of protectionism and free trade by examining their historical application in countries like Britain, Holland, Germany, and the United States. The author contrasts the outcomes of each policy, highlighting the benefits and drawbacks experienced by industries, workers, and consumers. Protectionist countries like Germany and the US witnessed increased production, employment, and innovation, while free-trade nations such as Britain faced industrial decline and worker hardship. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding the specific conditions and goals of each country when evaluating the effectiveness of these economic policies, arguing that there is no universally superior approach. It challenges the notion that free trade automatically leads to economic success and advocates for a balanced consideration of the potential consequences of both protectionism and free trade on national progress and the well-being of its citizens.
