Description - The Emergence of a 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 II loots at the revolution to the Civil War. Of primary importance here are writings concerning the construction of a national economy and what economic interests the federal government should promote and protect, including discussion of agriculture versus manufacturing, and protectionism versus free trade. Also included are discussions of slavery. Other texts address taxation and national infrastructure investment and the expansion of the frontiers of the United States, as well as corresponding theories of population growth. The highly political and caustic discussions of the formation of a national bank are included, as well as monetary policy, credit and debt. In addition are writings that begin the serious development of the study of political economy and economic theory in America.
