Protectionism (Civ5)

Protectionism is a social policy in Civilization V. It is part of the Commerce tree and requires Mercantilism. In Brave New World it requires also Entrepreneurship.
To achieve a good position in trading sometimes it is necessary to restrict it. In fact, many developed trading societies have found that introducing policies that limit the influx of foreign goods, after their own society has already developed a healthy economy, works to everyone's benefit. Local producers are protected from such effects as dumping strategies and cheap foreign labor, while local populace learns to value the worth of the limited amount of foreign goods available.
