Inhaltsangabe

This book, originally published in 1869, explores the foundational concepts of political economy from a perspective sympathetic to the interests of labor and industry, with a focus on the American context. Unlike many economic thinkers of the era, the author, whose identity is not readily apparent from the text, argues for adopting a national economic policy that encourages the development and diversification of domestic industry, which they see as critical for the advancement and economic security of the United States. The author traces the historical development of free trade and protectionist policies, examining the debates and ideas that shaped them, and presents a cogent argument for the advantages of a protectionist approach for their country.
