Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origins of the discipline of economics in the United States and the work of its earliest codifier, Daniel Raymond. An early critic of Adam Smith's principles, Raymond's work offered an alternative perspective on economics that was surprisingly prescient in its critiques. In his view, the health of a country's economy was best determined by examining the welfare of average citizens, not its wealthy elite. His opposition to slavery and banks that issued paper currency, and his support of protectionist policies, made him a precursor to later economic thought. While his work was never widely read during his lifetime, author and scholar Daniel Raymond stands as an important and original thinker in the history of economics.
