| | Protectionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | China and Japan have been accused of protectionist policies that peg their currencies to the dollar and, thus, set prices of their exports lower than they would be if the market determined the relative prices of each currency. | | | The goal of traditional protectionism is to maximize tax revenue from the purchase of foreign products with the goal of being able to reduce or eliminate other forms of domestic taxation (income taxes, sales taxes, etc.) as a result. | | | By ruling out revenue tariffs on foreign products, government must fully rely on domestic taxation to provide its revenue, which falls heavily disproportionately on domestic manufacturing. |

| | Protectionist Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Protectionist Party was a political party in Australia from the 1880s until 1909. | | | For a period, the Protectionists formed government with the support of the Labor Party, on the understanding that they would implement social reforms desired by Labor. | | | Labor's program, however, was frequently too radical for the Protectionists, and the party ended up splitting, with the most liberal Protectionists, such as Isaac Isaacs and H B Higgins, supporting Labor while Deakin and the others moved towards George Reid's Free Trade Party. |

| | Fortunately, the drug protectionists have been beaten back by the House, which voted yes on a bill to permit wholesale reimportation of pharmaceuticals—a bill that was opposed by the whole of the drug industry as well as the FDA and the Beltway thinktanks. | | | Fast forward all these years later, and the Bush administration is undertaking a blizzard of protectionist regulations, and nary a word of protest is coming from the supporters of international trade agreements. | | | As with other protectionist schemes, it is really about taxing Americans and imposing price floors to benefit a politically influential industry. |

| | Commentary: Free Trade Advances Despite Politics |
| | The difficulty with attaching such protectionist agendas to the "fast track" legislation is that a central tenet of the legislation is gutted–its ability to aid the economic development of poorer nations through expanded trade. | | | No doubt, many lawmakers understand such policies as the "price of doing business." This is a price, however, that will be born out in higher costs for consumers and the exclusion of developing countries as trading partners. | | | With the attachment of these protectionist provisions to the "fast track" legislation, lawmakers have effectively cut out many potential trading partners in developing nations. |

| | Protectionist bills may only invite retaliation and make companies look less favorably on our state as a place to do business, ultimately harming those people they attempt to help. | | | While worries about jobs throughout the country have contributed to debates in many state houses over economic protectionist proposals, lawmakers in other states have stepped back from imposing punitive measures as proposed in the General Assembly. | | | (April 23, 2004) As the end of the 2004 session of the General Assembly rapidly approaches, lawmakers continue to consider economic protectionist measures that purport to help save Connecticut jobs but more likely would put them at risk. |

The result is to stigmatize their positions by identifying them with the failure of the Smoot-Hawley tariff. | | | Calling current trade legislation "protectionist" is very similar to calling proposals for national health insurance "socialist." | | | After World War I, protectionists were unwilling to recognize that the U.S. had become inextricably part of a global economy. |
