Uncover the hidden forces shaping America's economic destiny in "American Tariffs: The Price of Protection" by Walter Bancroft. This riveting exploration of U.S. trade policy takes you on a journey from the nation's founding to today's globalized world, revealing how tariffs have been both a shield and a sword in the battle for economic supremacy.
Bancroft masterfully weaves together historical analysis and contemporary insights, exposing the intricate dance between protectionism and free trade that has defined American commerce for centuries. From the heated debates of the Founding Fathers to the controversial Trump-era policies, each chapter peels back layers of economic strategy, political maneuvering, and global consequences. You'll gain a front-row seat to pivotal moments like the Smoot-Hawley Tariff's role in the Great Depression and the post-World War II shift towards free trade, understanding how these decisions continue to echo in today's headlines.
As trade wars and economic nationalism surge back into the spotlight, "American Tariffs" provides an essential toolkit for decoding the complex interplay between tariffs, jobs, consumer prices, and international relations. Whether you're a policy wonk, a history buff, or simply a citizen trying to make sense of economic news, Bancroft's clear prose and incisive analysis will transform your understanding of this crucial yet often misunderstood topic.
Don't let the forces shaping our economic future remain a mystery. Grab your copy of "American Tariffs: The Price of Protection" and arm yourself with the knowledge to navigate the turbulent waters of global trade and national prosperity.

Trade disputes are usually understood as conflicts between countries with competing national interests, but as Matthew C. Klein and Michael Pettis show in this book, they are often the unexpected result of domestic political choices to serve the interests of the rich at the expense of workers and ordinary retirees. Klein and Pettis trace the origins of today's trade wars to decisions made by politicians and business leaders in China, Europe, and the United States over the past 30 years.

Before the Civil War, the American people did not have to worry about a federal tax collector coming to their door. The reason why was the tariff, taxing foreign goods and imports on arrival in the United States. Tariff Wars and the Politics of Jacksonian America attempts to show why the tariff was an important part of the national narrative in the antebellum period. The debates in Congress over the tariff were acrimonious, with pitched arguments between politicians, interest groups, newspapers, and a broader electorate.

The US is the largest closed economy in the world next to Brazil as we have enough agricultural production, natural resources, and diversity in the economy to stop trading with the rest of the world for decades. This, however, isn't an ideal scenario as trade results in increased competition within national markets and lowers prices for all consumers. Tariffs are a tax on consumers that are used by governments worldwide to slow spending and as a short-term economic tool for increased diplomacy and over the long term as a diplomatic weapon. They can hurt the GDP and GNP of the country that ...

Global trade is of vital interest to citizens as well as policymakers, yet it is widely misunderstood. This compact exposition of the market forces underlying international commerce addresses both of these concerned groups, as well as the needs of students and scholars. Although it contains no equations, it is almost mathematical in its elegance, precision, and power of expression. Understanding Global Trade provides a thorough explanation of what shapes the international organization of production and distribution and the resulting trade flows.

For generations, everything has been getting faster, better, and cheaper. Finally, we reached the point that almost anything you could ever want could be sent to your home within days - even hours - of when you decided you wanted it. America made that happen, but now America has lost interest in keeping it going.
