Free Trade Under Protection (1889)

The book delves into the economic theory of free trade versus protectionism, advocating for free trade as a catalyst for growth and prosperity. It is structured into three parts: the historical context of trade policies, the economic effects of both approaches, and their political and social ramifications. Gill emphasizes that free trade fosters competition and innovation, while protectionism leads to higher prices and conflict. The work serves as a thorough analysis of these economic policies and their implications for national and international relations.
