Description - The Development of the National Economy by William J Barber
This collection brings together a comprehensive selection of documents from the history of US and Canadian economic thought from the 17th century through to 1900. Part III centres on the Civil War to 1900. These texts consider issues such as the national debt and supply of money, early efforts to present systematised text-book statements of political economy, protection versus free trade, railroad regulation, poverty in relation to institutions, competition versus monopoly, social structure in relation to economic policy, monetary theory, the socio-economic role of religion, the "labour question" and the organisation of labour, and government regulation versus ownership.Writings address the controversy over the Single Tax, as well as several other efforts at social reform, and applied policy topics such as taxation, tariffs, antitrust, unionisation and strikes, immigration, imperialism. Writings relate issues such as the appropriate scope and methodology of economics as an increasingly academic discipline, the organisation of the American Economic Association, and early attempts to write the history of economic thought.
Also included are ever more esoteric but important issues of theory such as income distribution, monetary standards, and questions of evolutionary and dynamic economics.
