The Riddle of the Tariff is a book written by Arthur Cecil Pigou and published in 1903. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the economic implications of tariffs and trade policies. Pigou argues that tariffs, which are taxes on imported goods, have a negative impact on the economy by reducing competition, increasing prices, and limiting consumer choice. He also discusses the political motivations behind tariffs and the potential for trade wars between countries. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both economists and non-economists. It is considered a classic in the field of international trade and remains relevant today as countries continue to debate the merits of protectionist trade policies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
