Mathew Careys long-neglected 'The New Olive Branch' offers new insight into
political economy as it really happened. This is the first-ever scholarly edition of Careys most important economic work. Like other volumes in Anthems 'Economic Ideas that Built America' series, it gives the reader easy access to historical works that have been dropped from the modern economic canon because of their uncomfortable fit with contemporary conceptions of classical economics rooted in the work of Adam Smith, David Ricardo and Thomas Malthus. In 'The New Olive Branch,' Carey derided those so-called classical economists as visionary theorists with little grasp of real-world problems. Rejecting grand theories, Carey instead looked to historical examples and statistics to argue that government policy, and particularly the protection of manufacturers, was crucial to the development of a strong, independent American economy. In this volume, 'The New Olive Branch' is accompanied by portions of Careys 'Addresses of the Philadelphia Society for the Promotion of National Industry' (1822), which offer further insight into his rejection of classical economics.
While such views have long been out of fashion, overtaken by the popularity of classical economics, they were extremely influential in early America. Careys arguments illuminate how a large proportion of Americans thought about their economy while providing a corrective to the anachronistic overemphasis of the role of laissez-faire economics in early America.
