Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an invaluable historical analysis of the finances and internal improvements of New York State from 1817 to 1837, drawing on the annual reports and speeches of John S. Ruggles, Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means of the Assembly of the State of New York. Ruggles' thorough study begins with the initial funding and construction of canals, assessing their financial impact on the state's budget, real estate values, and overall economic development. The author includes a detailed account of the public debates over the relative merits of funding internal improvements with funds from the federal government versus state resources. Ultimately, Ruggles supports the position that the state's economic growth and ability to repay its debts justify substantial investment in these projects. This book offers a comprehensive overview of the economic and political history of 19th century New York State, and will greatly interest those with an interest in the history of the Erie Canal and the broader subject of government spending on infrastructure.
