About this book

The Credit System in France, Great Britain, and the United States is a comparative study by Henry Charles Carey (1793-1879), the Philadelphia economist whose works defined the American protectionist school of political economy. Published in 1838, the book compares the banking, currency, and commercial credit arrangements of the three countries and the recurrent financial crises of the 1830s. Carey writes from a perspective sympathetic to American manufacturing and critical of the deflationary tendencies he saw in the British model and in the policies of Andrew Jackson's administration. The book argues that sound credit, stable money, and a protective tariff together produce rising wages and falling interest rates. It is one of his earliest full-length works and is the bridge between his initial pamphleteering and the mature system of his Principles of Political Economy.

About the author

Henry Charles Carey

Letters on International Copyright argues against it. Henry Charles Carey held that ideas belong to the society that produced them, that an author's claim is weaker than it looks, and that an international copyright treaty would mainly raise the price of British books for American readers, and he pressed the case in open letters through the 1850s.
