Resumen
Descripción
In this paper we first discuss whether or not the modern form of mercantilism that
contributes to the trade deficit of the United States and other countries is a self-destructive and
thus self-correcting strategy. We argue that it is not self-correcting. Then we discuss
mechanisms that a trade deficit country could utilize in order to produce balanced trade. The
mechanisms differ in six respects, with the Scaled Tariff excelling in each.
