Tarbell is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the evolution of tariff policies in the United States, particularly focusing on how public opinion has often been sidelined in favor of special interests. Tarbell aims to narrate the story of the popular will regarding tariff laws, examining the impacts of protectionism and how American industries have navigated these changes over the decades. At the start of the work, the author presents a historical analysis of tariff legislation leading up to and during the Civil War. She discusses how public sentiment and established policies shifted due to economic crises and political pressures, culminating in a burgeoning advocacy for protectionist measures. Key figures such as Justin S. Morrill emerge in this narrative, as their actions reflect the complexities and challenges faced in maintaining a balance between revenue generation and industrial protection. Through the opening chapters, Tarbell sets the stage for a deeper investigation into how tariffs have shaped the economic landscape of the United States and the continual tension between protectionism and free trade.
