Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a resolute condemnation of the protective tariffs implemented by the US government in the late 19th century. The author, an advocate for free trade, meticulously dismantles the justifications for protectionism, exposing the self-serving motives of vested interests and the detrimental impact on the economy as a whole. By analyzing data and drawing from historical examples, the author argues that protectionism stifles innovation, raises prices for consumers, and undermines the competitiveness of American industries. The book also delves into the political dynamics surrounding the tariff debate, illuminating the corrupting influence of corporate lobbyists and the failure of government to act in the best interests of the people. Ultimately, this book serves as a powerful indictment of protectionism, demonstrating its harm to society and offering a compelling case for free trade.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the emergence of Republican power within the United States in the years after the American Civil War (1861-1865). It analyzes the motivations of so-called Stalwart Republicans in Congress as their power grew, the strategies they used to maintain influence, and the ways by which they reshaped the nation's social and political landscape. The author argues that Stalwart Republicans created a new form of Republicanism that was far removed from the radicalism of the early GOP and that they were crucial to the formation of the party's political machine, which promoted the economic interests of a rising class of industrialists. The book also discusses how the Stalwarts' focus on monetary issues such as the gold standard, protective tariffs and tax cuts helped usher in a new era of economic favoritism for big business. This book will be of great interest to anyone interested in the history of American politics, the Republican Party, or the social and economic changes that occurred in the United States in the late 19th century.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book begins by setting the scene of the chaos in which Edwin Booth's life was immersed thanks to the pension system of the time. It was a system rife with fraud and abuse. The author then goes on to provide a detailed account of how the author was able to clean up the system, a task that required persistence and courage, and a conviction in the importance of holding fraudulent pension attorneys accountable for their actions. The book also discusses the broader issue of the erosion of public trust in government spending, and makes a strong case for the need for reform. In the conclusion, the author argues that the reforms he initiated were essential to restoring integrity to the pension system and protecting taxpayers from fraud and abuse.
