Synopsis

Explore the rise of industry and the role of tariffs in shaping modern economies. This authoritative, footnoted history examines how protectionist policies influenced the United States and major European nations from 1860 to 1912. Filled with charts, tables, and primary-source excerpts, it reveals how trade barriers affected industry, wages, and national wealth during a pivotal era of growth and conflict.

This edition presents a clear account of political debates, economic theory, and real-world outcomes. It traces the shift from free trade to protection, the impact of landmark laws, and the evolution of labor and production across industries.


  • Detailed narrative of tariff legislation and its long-term effects on manufacturing and employment

  • Analysis of how political power and party platforms shaped trade policy

  • Context for key events like peace-time growth, economic panics, and policy reforms

  • Illustrations of international comparisons and the global impact of tariff choices



Ideal for readers of economic history, public policy, and 19th–early 20th century politics who want a grounded, data-informed view of how tariffs helped mold industrial nations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
