博客來Published in 1876, this book is a sharp and incisive critique of the controversial Sugar Duties Act, which imposed import duties on sugar and other sweeteners in an attempt to protect domestic producers. Martineau argues forcefully for the benefits of free trade and the dangers of protectionism, drawing on economic theory, historical examples, and practical experience. His arguments remain relevant in today’s debates over international trade and globalization.
