Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Economic Protectionism The Division of Economics and History of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace is organized to promote a thorough and scientific investigation of the causes and results of war In accordance with this purpose a conference of eminent statesmen, publicists, and economists was held in Berne, Switzerland, in August 1911, at which a plan of investigation was formed and an extensive list of topics was prepared. The programme of that Conference is presented in detail in an Appendix. It will be seen that an elaborate series of investigations has been undertaken, and the result ing reports may in due time be expected in printed form. Of works so prepared, some will aim to reveal direct and indirect consequences of warfare, and thus to furnish a basis for a judgement as to the reasonableness of the resort to it. If the evils are in reality larger and the benefits smaller than in the common view they appear to be, such studies should furnish convincing evidence of this fact and. Afford a basis for an enlightened policy whenever there is danger of inter national conflicts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Economic Basis of Protection The discussion of international trade has always ex cited much interest, and must, for a long time, still command the attention of all thoughtful citizens. A great variety of arguments has been presented to the public and many of them are already fully discussed.

Download or read book The New Protectionism Classic Reprint written by J. A. Hobson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Protectionism My object is to inspect and test, first, the substance of this economic menace, and, secondly, the validity of the measures by which it is proposed to meet it. The New Protectionism differs from the Old in seek ing to superimpose the present war map of the world, with its divisions of belligerents, allies, and neutrals, upon the Protectionism of 1903-1905, which sought to combine pro tection for British industries with a closer business connection between the self-govern ing dominions and the mother-country. To extract a definite intelligible shape for this New Protectionism out of the general rhetoric in which it is embedded by most of its exponents is no easy task. Its principal organs in the Press - such as the Morning Post, the Northcliffe papers, and by recent conversion the Spectator - do not agree among themselves either as to scope, objects, or methods; and the Chambers of Com merce - more concerned with business and less with politics - formulate proposals woe fully deficient in that element of defence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Protectionism: The -Ism Which Teaches That Waste Makes Wealth During the last fifteen years we have had two great questions to discuss: the restoration of the currency, and civil-service reform. Neither of these questions has yet reached a satisfactory so lution, but both are in the way toward such a result. The next great effort to strip off the evils entailed on us by the civil war will consist in the repeal of those taxes which one man was enabled to levy on another, under cover of the taxes which the government had to lay to carry on the war. I have taken my share in the dis cussion of the first two questions, and I expect to take my share in the discussion of the third.

This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sophisms of Free-Trade and Popular Political Economy Examined Whoever contemplates, on the one hand, the enormous powers of production in the United Kingdom, and on the other, the misery which nevertheless grinds down masses of the population, will necessarily conclude that the circumstances which ensure or promote the creation and due distribution of wealth, are yet unknown or mistaken. He will see the science which assumes to teach these things, discredited, helpless, and utterly at fault. There must be something fearfully wrong or essentially deficient in the prevailing system: there must necessarily be some error in theory. No adequate practical measures of relief can be devised till it is discovered. The following sheets are not written to aid a party, but a assist, if possible, in reaching the truth on a very complex and difficult subject. Protectionists will find no defence of a high price of subsistence, and free-traders no acquiescence in their recommendation of unlimited and indiscriminate imports.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Protection and Progress: A Study of the Economic Bases of the American Protective System Those who hold to this view have been led astray by the false teachings of professional economists who have failed to perceive that no system of political economy which merely considers the present can be sound. That this is a fundamental defect of the doctrines of the Manchester school will be demonstrated in the following pages. It will be conclusively Shown that the teachings and practices of the British followers of Cobden, although hav ing for their professed object the cheapening of production and the consequent increase of consumption, had they been accepted and imitated by the world, would have resulted in an arrest of industrial progress and the ultimate defeat of the purpose which free traders assert is the sole aim of the policy advocated by them.

Download or read book Principles of Political Economy Classic Reprint written by William Atkinson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Political Economy In presenting to the American public an edition of Mr. Atkinson's work elucidating the fundamental principles of Political Economy, the Editor is impelled to accompany it by a brief introductory essay, bearing on the progress and present condition of the Science herein illustrated. Hasty and immethodical as the multiplicity and unceasing exaction of his cares and duties as Editor of a Daily Journal must render it, he trusts it will be found not without pertinence to the matter, nor unworthy of the consideration of the public. Political Economy is among the latest born of the Sciences. Mainly intent on the horrid game of War, with its various reverses and only less ruinous successes, it is but yesterday that the rulers of the world discovered that they had any duty to perform toward Industry, other than to interrupt its processes by their insane contentions, to devastate its fields, and ultimately to consume its fruits. And when the truth did pierce through their scarcely pervious skulls, it came distorted and perverted by the resistance it had met, by selfish and sinister influences, so that it had parted with all its vitality, and was blended with and hardly distinguishable from error. When it began to be dimly discerned that Government had a legitimate duty to perform toward Industry - that the latter might be cherished, improved, extended by the action of the former - legislators at once jumped to the conclusion that all possible legislation upon and interference with Industry must be beneficial. A Frederick the Great finds by experience that the introduction of new arts and industrial processes into his dominions increases the activity, thrift and prosperity of his People; forthwith he rushes (as Macaulay and the Free Trade Economists represent him) into the prohibition of every thing but coin from abroad, and the production of every thing at home, without considering the influences of soil and climate, or the practicability of here prosecuting to advantage the business so summarily established. The consequence is of course a mischievous diversion of Labor from useful and productive to profitless and fruitless avocations. But this is not the worst. Some monarch finds himself unable to minister adequately to the extravagance of some new favorite or mistress; so he creates in her favor a Monopoly of the supply and sale of Salt, Coffee, or whatever else is not already monopolized, and styles it a "regulation of trade," to prevent ruinous fluctuations, competitions and excesses! Thus private ends are subserved under the pretence of public good, and the comforts of the People abridged or withheld to pander to the vices and sustain the lavish prodigality of princes and paramours. From a contemplation of these abuses, pierced and uncovered by the expanding intelligence of the Eighteenth Century, the Political Economy of the Schools was evolved. In its origin a protest against existing abuses, it shared the common lot of all reactions, in passing impetuously to an extreme the opposite of the error it went forth to combat. From a scrutiny and criticism of the gross abuses of the power of Government over Industry, it was impelled to the conclusion that no such power properly existed or could be beneficially exercised. Thus the Science became, in the hands of the latest professors of the 'enlightened' school, a simple and sweeping negation - a demand for incessant and universal abolishing - a suicidal Science, demonstrating that to do nothing is the acme of governmental wisdom, and King Log the profoundest and greatest of monarchs. These conclusions would have staggered the founders of the school, and yet it is difficult to resist the evidence offered to show that they are legitimately deduced by their disciples from the premises those founders themselves have laid down. In the cases cited by Mr. Atkinson in this work of the comparative beneficence of Home Tr

Book excerpt: Excerpt from International Trade: An Application of Economic Theory My aim has been to use as sparingly as possible the technical language of economic science, and to give so clear an explanation of the terms I use as to enable those unversed in that science to under stand the lines of argument. A somewhat close following of the methods of discussion commonly employed by protectionists and free traders alike has impressed me with the urgent need of more rigorous thought, and of a removal of the subject from the heated atmosphere of partisan controversy to one more favourable to a calm and concluded judgment.
