On the Removal of the Duty on Books (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781176903623)

On the Removal of the Duty on Books makes a case for eliminating import duties on books. This historically significant pamphlet, originally published in the late 19th century, presents arguments for free trade in books, asserting that such policies would benefit both the publishing industry and the public at large. The authors, Ernst Steiger and Thomas William Ludlow, address economic and cultural aspects of the debate, contending that accessible and affordable books are essential for an informed and educated populace. This edition offers insights into historical perspectives on trade, tariffs, and the dissemination of knowledge.
