Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the controversial topic of implementing tariffs from an economics perspective. The author delves into the complexity of the issue, exposing the web of questions it raises. The fallacies and complexities of using statistics to measure national prosperity are debated, with evidence presented to highlight that other indicators, such as imports, provide a more nuanced understanding. Various arguments in favor of protectionism are examined, including the impact on employment and the relation to skilled labor, and are confronted with real-world examples and case studies that challenge their validity. The author argues that promoting a few industries through protectionism can come at the detriment of overall national prosperity, as it may lead to higher prices and a decrease in the volume of commodities available for general consumption. Importantly, the book does not sit on the sidelines of the debate but actively engages with the subject, offering a fresh perspective on the subject of tariffs and their real-world impact. It provides readers with the tools they need to critically assess the claims of protectionists and to reach their own informed conclusions on this complex topic.
