Tariffs: Tools of Prosperity or Trade War

By Ethan Thompson

Tariffs: Tools of Prosperity or Trade War delivers a comprehensive, balanced examination of one of the most contentious tools in economic policy. From the British Corn Laws and the Smoot-Hawley Act to modern-day trade wars between the U.S. and China, this book dives deep into the historical, political, and economic forces that have shaped-and been shaped by-tariffs.

Ethan Thompson presents a compelling exploration of how tariffs have impacted industries, governments, consumers, and global relations. Drawing from a wide array of case studies, theoretical frameworks, and real-world consequences, this book illuminates the dual nature of tariffs: as both catalysts for economic growth and triggers for trade conflict.

Whether you're a student of economics, a policy professional, or a curious reader seeking to understand how nations wield economic tools in a globalized world, this book offers an insightful, engaging journey through the shifting landscape of international trade.
