Guidance from an Economics Classic: The Centennial of Henry George's ‘Protection or Free Trade’

C. Lowell Harriss

American Journal of Economics and Sociology, 1989, vol. 48, issue 3, 351-356

Abstract: Abstract. The ideas of Henry George on free trade and land taxation are still relevant. The standard of living has risen without the adoption of his ideas on the latter in contradiction of his predictions. But the decrease in protectionism is important in explaining the failure of the predictions and upholds his views on the benefits of free trade.
