The Rise of Free Trade in Western Europe, 1820–1875

C. P. Kindleberger

The Journal of Economic History, 1975, vol. 35, issue 1, 20-55

Abstract: The textbook theory of tariffs, and their converse, the movement to freer trade, has more elements than we need for the nineteenth century, but also lacks some. In the usual comparative statics, a tariff may be said to have ten effects: on price, trade, production (the protective effect), consumption, revenue, terms of trade, internal income distribution, monopoly, employment and the balance of payments.
