Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

No More Free Rides On This Jackass: Or Protection Forever And Everywhere is a book written by Frank Rosewater and first published in 1881. The book is a satirical critique of the protectionist economic policies of the United States government during the late 19th century. Rosewater uses the metaphor of a ""jackass"" to represent the American economy, which he argues has been burdened by protectionist policies that benefit a small group of special interests at the expense of the broader economy. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which addresses a different aspect of protectionism. Rosewater argues that tariffs, which were used to protect American industries from foreign competition, actually hurt consumers by raising prices and limiting choices. He also criticizes the idea that protectionism is necessary to support American workers, arguing that it actually harms them by limiting opportunities for trade and innovation.Throughout the book, Rosewater employs humor and wit to drive home his points. He uses anecdotes and examples to illustrate the absurdity of protectionist arguments and to highlight the ways in which protectionism harms the economy. No More Free Rides On This Jackass: Or Protection Forever And Everywhere is an important historical document that sheds light on the debates over economic policy that were taking place in the late 19th century. It remains relevant today as debates over protectionism continue to shape economic policy around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
