Britain Under Protection

<p>When this book was published in 1934 Britain had been a protectionist country for three years. The Import Duties Act and the Ottawa Agreements were based upon four main principles - the use of the tariff as an instrument of revenue its use as a bargaining weapon its use as a means of protecting domestic manufacturers and its use as a means of fostering trade within the British Empire. This book is a valuable analysis of the years of protectionism measuring the effects on the country's trade and economy.</p>
