Breeches-pocket interest and the costs of protection
In this 1841 pamphlet style piece, Cotton Twist indicts breeches-pocket interests for deafness to public need. The author argues protection raises rents, harms land value, and weakens domestic and foreign markets, urging free trade while warning of social and economic ruin. The piece cites Providence, historical justice, and economic competition to condemn rent-seeking.
