Tariffs continue to be a major topic of debate. The author examines what happened to countries that closed their borders and protected domestic industry with the promise of strength and self-sufficiency. The historical record is surprisingly consistent.

Strange to leave out successful modern examples like China, South Korea, Japan, Germany until they decided to destroy their industry for green goals etc.
