Tariffs: Admission of Economic and Political Failure

Protectionism: google.

Tariffs are taxes on imported goods often used to protect domestic production.

Britain's Corn Laws
The Corn Laws were a series of protectionist tariffs in 19th-century Britain designed to keep grain prices high to protect domestic landowners, but they led to high food prices for the working class and were eventually repealed in 1846. The repeal, driven by pressure from groups like the Anti-Corn Law League and compounded by events like the Irish Famine, marked a major shift toward free trade in British economic policy.
