In 1850, Frederic Bastiat wrote in his classic essay, “The Law,” that tariffs are a step toward socialism. In his words, “protectionism, socialism, and communism are basically the same plant in three different stages of its growth.” All three call for government to intervene in the marketplace to influence who gains and who loses. image

No amount of idealism can justify the monopolization of power; only a decentralized, voluntary order of free markets and individual sovereignty can truly safeguard liberty and prosperity.
