In his comprehensive study of the economic ideology of the early republic, James Huston argues that Americans developed economic attitudes during the Revolutionary period that remained virtually unchanged until the close of the nineteenth century.


Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index. Biographical Note: JAMES L. HUSTON is professor of history at Oklahoma State University and the author of The Panic of 1857 and the Coming of the Civil War; Calculating the Value of the Union: Slavery, Property Rights, and the Economic Origins of the Civil War; and Stephen A. Douglas and the Dilemmas of Democratic Equality. Publisher Marketing: James Huston has undertaken a unique and Herculean labor in examining American beliefs about wealth distribution over one and a half centuries. His findings have led him to a startling conclusion: Americans' earliest economic attitudes were formed during the Revolutionary period and remained virtually unchanged until the close of the nineteenth century. Why those attitudes existed and persisted, how they informed public debate, and what caused their ultimate demise are among the channels explored in Securing the Fruits of Labor, a grand excursion into waters of economic history only glimpsed by previous works.
