Abstract

George recognized the importance of the question of international trade for the study of economics. He took a strong position on the issue of free trade early in his career and defended it vigorously. Strong arguments for free trade and an attack on protectionism were the main thrust of his book Protection or Free Trade: An Examination of the Tariff Question, with Especial Regard to the Interests of Labor, published in 1886. This publication represents an important contribution to economics, for the profession has informally adopted and long advocated free trade on the basis of argumentation by great economists such as Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and many others in the mainstream, including, of course, Henry George.
