Tench Coxe And The Early Republic eBook

Tench Coxe participated in or commented on most of the major events in American history from the Revolution to the 1820s. This volume expecially emphasizes Coxe's farsighted views and achievements as a political economist: his support of protective tarrifts, his advocacy of labour saving machinery, and his belief that cotton growing was the key to American economic independence and industrialization.
