Some Aspects Of Protection, The Cost Equalization Principle, And The Flexible Clause In The Hawley-Smoot Tariff Of 1930, Peter J. Turano

Political Science ETDs

It is the purpose of this work to afford a purview of the purblind adhesion of a substantial segment of the American people and their constituted representatives to obsolescent and inopportune autarchic economic policies spawned by a post-war introversive nationalism. Refutation in abundance of an enlightened commercial policy is discernable in the insensibility of the dominant political party to the panorama of altering conceptions of international responsibility, organization, and control. This work attempts to render an exposition of the particular facets of the Tariff Act of 1900 which accord an explication, through an examination of some principles upon which were …

Economics ETDs

It is the purpose of this study (1) to indicate the origin and development of the Mescalero Apache Indian economy; (2) to show the reasons for its development; (3) to present a probable trend in the future of the Mescalero Apache Indian economically, as based upon past and present tribal economics.
