Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Drawing connections between the labor question and the US's early tariff system, this book analyzes the role of labor in the development of the American economy. The author's examination of the period 1816-1824 reveals that tariffs, largely designed to protect nascent American industry, triggered protectionist arguments which emphasized the need to create employment opportunities. The book highlights the contradictory positions that characterized the debate: on one hand, the need to bolster industry to provide employment for those displaced by sudden economic shifts was emphasized, while on the other, the comparatively high wages and shortage of industrial workers were seen as obstacles to industrial growth. Exploring the complexities surrounding the availability and cost of labor, and the transition from domestic to factory production, the book sheds valuable light on the interplay between labor, industry, and the US's economic policies in the formative years of American capitalism.
