Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the resurgence of protectionism, wherein governments protect domestic industries from foreign competition. The author argues that this trend stems from a misunderstanding of Free Trade, which has been wrongly associated with indifference to workers' rights and the ills of unfettered competition. Instead, Free Trade seeks to extend the benefits of specialization and division of labor to international trade, thereby increasing overall prosperity. The author contends that the economic arguments for Free Trade remain valid, even in young countries seeking to develop their own industries. Moreover, Free Trade aligns with the principles of individual liberty and limited government intervention. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the economic, political, and social arguments for and against protectionism, offering valuable insights into the ongoing debate over the role of government in the economy.
