About this book

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.

About the author

Henry Charles Carey

Letters on International Copyright argues against it. Henry Charles Carey held that ideas belong to the society that produced them, that an author's claim is weaker than it looks, and that an international copyright treaty would mainly raise the price of British books for American readers, and he pressed the case in open letters through the 1850s.
