What purposes do tariffs serve?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Tariffs are fees or taxes collected on imported goods. They serve as a source of revenue and also have the effect of raising the prices of such imported goods thus making similar internally produced goods more attractive . They also tend to decrease the overall volume of the imports to which the tariffs are applied and this may help with a balance of payments problem.

Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistake?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is a very famous quote quite obviously of Mahatma Gandhi. The answer to this question is still debated at length although people should be aware that the discussion has been around for a lot longer. The short version answer to this question remains a cop-out - there is no answer. Depending on your point of view everyone views the answer differently some would agree and are not necessarily incorrect others would disagree and have some interesting counter-arguments. If you want to research it more take a look first at Rousseau then Mill and then perhaps Berlin. You make also want to throw Green into the mix as well for good measure!
