The British Treaties of 1871 & 1874

The British Treaties of 1871 and 1874 is a late pamphlet by Henry Charles Carey (1793-1879), the Philadelphia economist who led the American protectionist school for half a century. Carey attacks the reciprocity arrangements then under debate as instruments of British commercial supremacy, restating in old age the home-market doctrine he had argued since the 1840s. His pamphlets were political ammunition in the tariff wars that dominated Gilded Age economics. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
