prohibitionists, nationalists, conservatives, progressives, John Birchers-they are all here, and Gould is reasonably fair even to those party factions that he dislikes. Tariffs, for revenue and protection, formed the bedrock of Republican Party thinking loo years ago, in the way that tax cuts do today; Gould helps readers under stand why the tariff once commanded such loyalty and also sheds light on how the Republicans have changed. This is a book that even Democrats can read with profit and pleasure; everyone who cares about U.S. politics ought to have a copy.
