Protectionism: The -Ism Which Teaches That Waste Makes Wealth is a book written by William Graham Sumner in 1885. The book is a critique of protectionism, which is the economic policy of shielding a country's domestic industries from foreign competition by imposing tariffs on imported goods. Sumner argues that protectionism is based on a flawed understanding of economics and that it ultimately harms the economy by creating inefficiencies, reducing competition, and increasing prices for consumers. He also argues that protectionism is a form of waste, as it encourages the production of goods that are less efficient and more expensive than those produced by foreign competitors. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of economic thought or the debate over protectionism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
