- 24: Tariffs and Trade Restrictions To Save Jobs
- ... an industry complainig about "unfair" competition from foreign suppliers. If foreign brands were restricted in supply, the argument goes, this would leave more of the American market to American firms and, hence, American workers. Profits, employment, and wages would rise.

That means less money to spend on other stuff. The demand, profits, output, and employment in every other industry fall just a little as a result of the tax on imported textiles. And that's not all. Foreigners now have less income because their U.S. textile sales have ...

There are only a few women in the professions, and women are largely confined to wage employment in small trade, clerical, and secretarial fields. Customary law discriminates against women in such areas as inheritance, divorce, property ownership, and travel (see Section 2.d.).
