Clashing Over Commerce: A History of US Trade Policy is a major work of economic history by Douglas A. Irwin that examines how the United States has argued over tariffs, trade barriers, and openness to the world economy from the founding era to the modern period. Rather than treating trade policy as a purely technical subject, the book shows it as a recurring political struggle shaped by competing interests among consumers, producers, workers, farmers, and policymakers. Irwin organizes this history around the evolution of American trade policy through distinct phases, often summarized as revenue, restriction, and reciprocity. This framework helps explain why tariffs were used for government finance in the early republic, why protectionism later became a powerful force, and how reciprocity and negotiated liberalization eventually came to dominate the postwar era. The book is both a broad historical survey and an interpretive account of why trade debates remain so persistent in American politics.
