Riddle of the Tariff

by Arthur Cecil Pigou

In his early years, Pigou, an ardent freetrader, took to public platforms to advocate tariff reform, then a subject of acute political controversy. This work primarily addresses the issues of imperial preference, protective tariffs and dumping, and tariff bargaining. "On the subject of Imperial Preference, Mr. Pigou's close reasoning should be studied." F.Y. Edgeworth The Economic Journal
