Henry George, Protectionism and the Welfare of the Working Class

Author

Abstract

. Robert J. Rafalko's recent essay in this Journal argued that Henry George provided a view of protectionism which was at once novel and relevant to contemporary debate in economic theory. In response, after arguing that George offered a basically conventional approach to protection and free trade, one which did not deviate substantially from the major body of theory available in the 1880s, this paper goes on to contend that the present debate surrounds assumptions and issues which were not considered in any detail by George. The general work of Henry George was certainly novel and of relevance today, but this may not be said of his position on tariffs and free trade.
