Barry Bluestone, an economics professor at Boston College and co-author of The Deindustrialization of America, argues for ''vanishing'' protective tariffs to rebuild the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing. The tariffs would remain in effect only for a fixed period, perhaps five years, while a struggling industry regrouped.
