Trade Protection as an International Commodity: The Case of Steel

Mary A. Yeager

The Journal of Economic History, 1980, vol. 40, issue 1, 33-42

Abstract: Trade protection commonly is viewed as a support—external and perhaps occasional—granted to an industry by government policymakers. Focusing on the steel industry, this study argues that protection is better viewed as a commodity, an input into the production of steel. The development of the market for the protection commodity during the past century is related to the history of regional, national, and international markets for steel.
