Description
Discover the economic tool that built America, shaped global trade, and still fuels the biggest political debates of our time.
From steel mills to trade wars, from the Founding Fathers to modern-day geopolitics — tariffs have always been more than taxes on trade. They’re powerful instruments of policy, protection, and sometimes, provocation.
In this deeply researched and highly engaging book, Daniel Bulmez takes readers on a journey through over 200 years of U.S. economic history to explore how tariffs have influenced industry, policy, politics, and everyday life.
📖 Inside this book, you’ll learn:
– How America used tariffs to fuel its rise as an industrial superpower
– Why the Tariff of 1828 nearly broke the Union — decades before the Civil War
– How the infamous Smoot-Hawley Tariff deepened the Great Depression
– What really happened during the U.S.–China trade war (and who paid the price)
– Why both Trump and Biden embraced tariffs in the 21st century
– How modern tariffs are shaping the future of tech, manufacturing, and climate policy
– What history tells us about the outcomes — both good and bad — of protectionism
🧠 Perfect for:
– Business owners, investors, and supply chain leaders
– Students and professionals in economics, policy, or history
– Curious readers who want to understand the real forces behind global trade
Whether you’re watching current events unfold or reflecting on the lessons of the past, this book will give you the tools to think critically about tariffs and trade — and how they affect you.
