Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an essay exploring the intertwined histories of slavery and protectionism with a focus on how the two systems have become deeply embedded within America's political and economic structures. The author argues that these systems are directly linked and have served to suppress individual liberty and economic growth since their inception, reaching back to the reign of Charles V in the 16th century. The author traces how slavery and protectionist policies have evolved over time, with slavery preceding protectionist practices by many years. However, the author argues that the rise of protectionism at the end of the 18th century gave slavery a new lease on life and allowed it to persist for another century, culminating in the Civil War. The author delves into the philosophical and ethical contradictions which have allowed these systems to persist and how those contradictions have directly led to the erosion of American values. The concluding chapters of the book examine how protectionist policies of the late 19th and early 20th centuries have stifled innovation, led to the concentration of wealth in the hands of a select few, and weakened America's economic competitiveness. In its insights into the historical connections between slavery and protectionism, this book cautions against the dangers of government overreach and the importance of maintaining individual liberty as the cornerstone of economic growth and social progress.
