Abstract

"The publication estimated the impact of reforms in the manufacturing sector, concluding that tariff liberalization and export promotion had played an important role in pushing manufacturing growth from 5 per cent in previous decades to 8 per cent in the 2000s. That had eased the import compression witnessed during the previous decade and had made it easier for exporters to obtain inputs and intermediates at competitive prices from global sources. Nevertheless, the role of domestic demand in the growth of this sector could not be ignored, since India's per capita income had -- for the first time -- risen above 5 per cent per year."--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

In the wake of the War of 1812, the Madison and Monroe administrations oversaw the institution of a series of protective tariffs meant to shield fledgling American industries from British product ""dumping."" While southerners supported these protectionist measures early on, they quickly came to disapprove of them as severe impediments to trade with the West Indies, an important source of sugar cane and tobacco. In the decades that followed, tariffs became a hotly contested issue, the North favoring protectionism and the South advocating for free trade. In The Triumph of the Antebe

Abstract

The past two decades have seen exciting changes with developing countries emerging as exporters of services. Technological developments now make it easier to trade services across borders. But other avenues are being exploited: tourists visit not just to sightsee but also to be treated and educated, service providers move abroad under innovative new schemes, and some developing countries defy traditional notions by investing abroad in services.""Exporting Services: A Developing Country Perspective"" takes a brave approach, combining exploratory econometric analysis with detailed case studies

Abstract

Le protectionnisme est le dernier tabou des élites européennes. Malgré la violence de la crise, la suprématie du libre-échange demeure une croyance indiscutée. C’est cette interdiction de débattre que les auteurs, journalistes économiques de la nouvelle génération, ont voulu lever dans ce livre sans a priori idéologique. Le constat est cruel : l’idéologie libre-échangiste, devenue hégémonique à la fin du siècle dernier, est aujourd’hui battue en brèche par les faits. Dans les pays en développement, l’amélioration du niveau de vie, réelle dans certains cas, s’est avérée illusoire dans beaucoup d’autres. Dans les pays développés, la mondialisation a creusé des inégalités qui menacent de corroder le tissu social de nos sociétés. Le temps est donc venu pour l’Europe de définir un protectionnisme positif, européen, social et écologique, à l’opposé du nationalisme et du repli sur soi. C’est ce à quoi s’emploie cet ouvrage, qui étudie les conditions de la mise en oeuvre d’un tel dispositif et la manière dont il pourrait s’appliquer concrètement dans la vie des Européens.

Abstract

The extreme protectionism that contributed to a collapse of world trade in the 1930s is examined in light of the recent economic crisis.The recent economic crisis--with the plunge in the stock market, numerous bank failures and widespread financial distress, declining output and rising unemployment--has been reminiscent of the Great Depression. The Depression of the 1930s was marked by the spread of protectionist trade policies, which contributed to a collapse in world trade. Although policymakers today claim that they will resist the protectionist temptation, recessions are breeding grounds for economic nationalism, and countries may yet consider imposing higher trade barriers. In Trade Policy Disaster, Douglas Irwin examines what we know about trade policy during the traumatic decade of the 1930s and considers what we can learn from the policy missteps of the time.Irwin argues that the extreme protectionism of the 1930s emerged as a consequence of policymakers' reluctance to abandon the gold standard and allow their currencies to depreciate. By ruling out exchange rate changes as an adjustment mechanism, policymakers turned instead to higher tariffs and other means of restricting imports. He offers a clear and concise exposition of such topics as the effect of higher trade barriers on the implosion of world trade; the impact of the Smoot-Hawley tariff of 1930; the reasons some countries adopted draconian trade restrictions (including exchange controls and import quotas) but others did not; the effect of preferential trade arrangements and bilateral clearing agreements on the multilateral system of world trade; and lessons for avoiding future trade wars.

Abstract

Entrepreneurs have long been drivers of innovation in developed countries. They start companies and create new industries that keep economies strong and prosperous. Today, however, in developing nations such as China, state-controlled economies are building robust industries at stunning speed and siphoning off jobs from the West. How can entrepreneurs function in the face of this challenge? Can they continue to create economic value in a globalized business environment? This book addresses the crucial issue of state planning vs. free enterprise and examines specific problems surrounding entrepreneurship in the global economy through nine case histories of entrepreneurial companies. It also looks at how and why government gets involved in economic growth and how entrepreneurs contribute to economic value. Based on this analysis, the authors argue that companies can succeed, even in controlled economies, by understanding the customs and policies of countries where they do business.

Abstract

On 2 July 1812, Captain David Porter raised a banner on the USS Essex proclaiming 'a free trade and sailors rights', thus creating a political slogan that explained the War of 1812. Free trade demanded the protection of American commerce, while sailors' rights insisted that the British end the impressment of seamen from American ships. Repeated for decades in Congress and in taverns, the slogan reminds us today that the second war with Great Britain was not a mistake. It was a contest for the ideals of the American Revolution bringing together both the high culture of the Enlightenment to establish a new political economy and the low culture of the common folk to assert the equality of humankind. Understanding the War of 1812 and the motto that came to explain it - free trade and sailors' rights - allows us to better comprehend the origins of the American nation.
