Protection Fails to Make Goods Cheaper Says Shearman
Thomas G. Shearman argues in Christian Union that protection has raised costs for sixty years, citing tariffs from 1814 to present. He notes duties keep prices high, especially for iron and textiles, and that protected industries show little incentive for invention. Competition and open markets, he says, fuel lower prices and innovation.
