"Clashing over Commerce is a very impressive book. Besides a
detailed history of trade policy, it provides a general picture of
American political and economic history."-- "Regulation"
"Clashing over Commerce is a magisterial book. Irwin takes readers
through the long story of American trade policy with keen insight
and a sense for historical significance."--I. M. Destler,
University of Maryland
"Irwin's magnum opus . . . is already a classic. Given the
prominent role trade is playing in politics right now, it is also
very timely. At almost seven hundred pages, Clashing over Commerce
looks intimidating. But once you start reading, it isn't. Irwin
tells a coherent story that spans generations, showcasing the
prominent personalities in the great trade debate, their larger
philosophical and economic arguments, and the legislation and
policies they fought over. It hits on all levels."-- "Competitive
Enterprise Institute, Best Books of 2018" (1/2/2019 12:00:00

"This is, without a doubt, the most comprehensive discussion of
trade policy since Taussig's immensely influential Tariff History
of the United States. Irwin describes the profound evolution of
American trade policy from colonial times to the present, bringing
up to date with the most recent empirical research and the
emergence of a broader trade policy. In its breadth and depth,
Clashing over Commerce represents a major contribution."--Jeremy
Atack, Vanderbilt University
"Other histories have been written about US trade policy, but
Irwin's is the most comprehensive and useful for guiding our
current decision making on trade. . . . Irwin combines scholarly
analysis with a historian's eye for trends and colorful details.
This book is readable and illuminating, for the trade expert and
for all Americans wanting a deeper understanding of America's
evolving role in the global economy."
-- "National Review"
