"Protective & Preferential Import Duties" by A. C. Pigou, originally published in 1906, delves into the complexities of international trade and economic policy at the turn of the century. This work offers a detailed examination of the effects of protective and preferential import duties on national economies, exploring the theoretical underpinnings and practical implications of such policies.
Pigou's analysis provides valuable insights into the arguments for and against protectionism, considering its impact on domestic industries, employment, and overall economic welfare. This book remains relevant for understanding the historical context of trade policies and their enduring influence on contemporary economic debates. Scholars and students of economics, trade history, and public policy will find this a crucial resource for understanding the evolution of international trade theory.
