Explore how economic protectionism shapes world trade and national policy, with clear analysis you can apply to today’s markets. This book explains why governments act to support domestic producers and how those choices affect prices, trade, and growth.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Division of Economics and History of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace is organized to promote a thorough and scientific investigation of the causes and results of war .I naccordance with this purpose a conference of eminent statesmen, publicists, and economists was held in Berne, Switzerland, in August 1911, at which a plan of investigation was formed and an extensive list of topics was prepared. The progranmie of that Conference is presented in detail in an A ppendix. It will be seen that an elaborate series of investigations has been undertaken, and the resulting reports may in due time be expected in printed form. Of works so prepared, some will aim to reveal direct and indirect consequences of warfare, and thus to furnish a basis for a judgement as to the reasonableness of the resort to it. If the evils are in reality larger and the benefits smaller than in the common view they appear to be, such studies should furnish convincing evidence of this fact and afford a basis for an enhghtened poH cy whenever there is danger of international conflicts. Studies of the causes of warfare wiU reveal, in particular, those economic influences which in time of peace bring about clashing interests and mutual suspicion and hostility. They will, it is believed, show what policies, as adopted by different nations, will reduce the conflicts of interest, inure to the common benefit, and afford a basis for international confidence and good will. They will further serve to reveal the natural economic influences which of themselves bring about more and more harmonious relations and tend to substitute general benefits for the mutual injuries that follow unintelligent self-seeking.
