Talk:Protectionism

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Contradictory statement[edit]

I arrived from the Payne–Aldrich Tariff Act wikipedia page history tab which states protectionism is refuted by "progressives" but this page it says... "Protectionism is advocated mainly by parties that hold economic nationalist or left-wing positions"

This should be clarified or fixed as left- wing positions were more progressive & felt protectionism leads to monopoly. THANKS B1blazin (talk) 02:32, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Current World Trends" Updates[edit]

It looks like the bulk of this section was last updated sometime around 2009, apart from a quick couple sentences about the US abandoning the TPP in 2017.


There should be lots to add re: worldwide response to covid. We could at least add some info from G20 reports (EX: https://www.oecd.org/investment/investment-policy/29th-Report-on-G20-Trade-and-Investment-Measures.pdf ), should only require a few paragraphs. I'll put it on my list to come back to this if nobody more experienced does :) Sssstuart (talk) 01:42, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Updating the article for the 2020s--i.e. right-wing populism and the 2021–2023 global supply chain crisis[edit]

This article needs to be updated for the 2020s, and I'll be working on it over the next few days. The lead of this article violates NPOV and is out of date, because it doesn't include accounts for historical examples of protectionism both working (i.e. the American System (economic plan)) and failing (i.e. Peronism in Argentina, as seen with the economic history of Argentina).

Two of the oldest right-wing political parties in the world that still exist, the Republican Party (United States) (began in the 1850s) and the Conservative Party (UK) (began in the 1830s) have historically supported protectionism, and the Republican Party currently supports protectionism.
