Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1929, this book was written to express the belief that nations’ commercial policy and doctrines could best be explained by reference to their history. The author argues that this applies equally to legislation and theory, for example both the McKinley Act of 1890 and contemporaneous protectionism are examined as the culmination of a century’s worth of legislative and theoretical progress. This edition is also updated from the original 1891 publication to take account of the effect of the First World War on the European and American tariff systems, and also how the preferential system of trade within the British Empire recast relations between Britain and its dominions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is undoubtedly the most scientific volume which has yet come under our notice of the series to which it belongs. Professor Bastable's previous writings on the subject of international trade form a guarantee for sound and careful reasoning, which is fulfilled in the little book before us. He has, if we may say so, made a department of economics, which is, perhaps, the most intricate and perplexing within the range of the science, in a certain sense his own; and yet he has also in this book, as it appears to us, been singularly successful in combining fullness of knowledge and profundity of thought with lucid and interesting explanation of practical fact. It is a strange coincidence that, in England at any rate, perhaps the greatest success of economics in the domain of practice has been achieved in the department-so difficult in theory-of international trade; but the success was won by the help of the inevitable logic of stubborn fact rather than by the assistance of the nice refinements of theory; and the persistency with which protectionist fallacies linger among us, and still continue to captivate even able intellects, is one indication of a failure to grasp the essential elements of the economic theory of international trade. In discussing, then, the subject of the ' commerce of nations,' Professor Bastable is dealing with what is still a ' question of to-day,' and will, we imagine, for some time continue to be so, although the tendency of thought and of practice may really incline in the hopeful direction indicated by him in his last chapter. He has endeavored throughout his treatment of this burning social question to be both scientific and popular, and to combine an account of facts with a statement of theory. He, therefore, begins by giving a brief review of the theory of international trade, and by examining the part played in it by money. This naturally leads to a temperate account of the mercantile system, and its later development into protection. The English customs system from 1815 to 1860, and the tariff system, so contrary in its methods and tendencies, of the United States, are then reviewed. The reform of continental tariffs from 1816 to 1865, and the recent protectionist reaction, which has succeeded to the marked and general inclination in the direction of greater commercial liberty, which followed on the adoption of free trade by England, are considered in the following chapters, and the similar recent tendencies of colonial tariffs next receive attention. Professor Bastable then passes back from the region of fact to the sphere of theory, and supplies a fair but destructive account of the modern protectionist theory. He presents and criticises successively the chief economic arguments advanced in its favour, and then proceeds to review the non-economic arguments, which are based on social or political grounds. This is followed by a criticism of the other expedients of the system besides import duties, such as bounties or export duties, and by an account of the practical complications and jobbery and smuggling to which protection seems inevitably to lead; and then two concluding chapters are devoted to the more modern proposals for reciprocity or retaliation and for commercial federation. Within the necessarily confined limits of a convenient handbook Professor Bastable has thus managed to compress what would otherwise have to be sought through many volumes of no inconsiderable size; and this is, we think, especially apparent in his chapter on the arguments put forward on behalf of protection. The same chapter reveals most manifestly another quality, which characterises the whole book, and that is the candour with which Professor Bastable endeavours to set in its most favourable light an argument, which he has nevertheless little difficulty in proving untenable.... -The Economic Journal, Vol. 2 [1892]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is entering a period of profound uncertainty in the world political economy--an uncertainty which is threatening the liberal economic order that its own statesmen created at the end of the Second World War. The storm surrounding this threat has been ignited by an issue that has divided Americans since the nation's founding: international trade. Is America better off under a liberal trade regime, or would protectionism be more beneficial? The issue divided Alexander Hamilton from Thomas Jefferson, the agrarian south from the industrializing north, and progressives from robber barons in the Gilded Age. In our own times, it has pitted anti-globalization activists and manufacturing workers against both multinational firms and the bulk of the economics profession. Ambassador C. Donald Johnson's The Wealth of a Nation is an authoritative history of the politics of trade in America from the Revolution to the Trump era. Johnson begins by charting the rise and fall of the U.S. protectionist system from the time of Alexander Hamilton to the Smoot-Hawley Tariff of 1930. Challenges to protectionist dominance were frequent and often serious, but the protectionist regime only faded in the wake of the Great Depression. After World War II, America was the primary architect of the liberal rules-based economic order that has dominated the globe for over half a century. Recent years, however, have seen a swelling anti-free trade movement that casts the postwar liberal regime as anti-worker, pro-capital, and--in Donald Trump's view--even anti-American. In this riveting history, Johnson emphasizes the benefits of the postwar free trade regime, but focuses in particular on how it has attempted to advance workers' rights. This analysis of the evolution of American trade policy stresses the critical importance of the multilateral trading system's survival and defines the central political struggle between business and labor in measuring the wealth of a nation.
Download or read book Misadventures of the Most Favored Nations written by Paul Blustein and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2009-09-22 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a linchpin of global capitalism, the World Trade Organization is both revered and reviled. In this book, financial journalist Paul Blustein tells the surprisingly entertaining and compelling story of how the WTO is sliding into dysfunctionality -- which poses a new and grave menace to globalization itself. In more than seven years of global talks the WTO has struggled and failed to resolve contentious differences between rich and developing nations. Now, with a worldwide recession underway, the WTO's failure is contributing to a rise in protectionism -- a sign that the world may not be so flat after all. Misadventures of the Most Favored Nations recounts, in vivid detail, how the highstakes negotiations went awry. At risk, Blustein argues, is the fate of the system that for six decades has opened the global economy and kept it from splintering.
