Daniel Raymond, an Early Chapter in the History of Economic Theory in the United States; - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
The net result of a study of the history of economic science in the United States during the first century of our national existence has been summed up thus: Not only has no American school of writers on political economy been established, if we except that which we are about to notice (H enry C. Carey and his several disciples), but no recognized contribution to the development of the science can be pointed out in any way comparable to those made by the French writers, or to those which the Germans are now making. 1T he general result then to which, as we believe, a sober examination of the case must lead any candid inquirer, is that the United States have, thus far, done nothing towards developing the theory of political economy, notwithstanding their vast and immediate interest in its practical applications. 2D espite this foreshadowing of negative results, the present study was begun in the belief that a further investigation into the history of economic science in the United States would not be without scientific interest. Had this country produced no economic writers at all, the causes of such barrenness would have invited inquiry; and if we have produced writers, and these have been without influence on the development of the science, the why of this is also worthy of study. The results of the present study would seem to indicate that perhaps American writers have exerted an influence upon i North American Review, January 1876, p. 137. Dunbar, Economic Science in the United States, 1776-1876. 21 bid., p. 140.
