Publisher's Synopsis
""The American System"" is a collection of speeches given by Andrew Stewart, a prominent politician and lawyer, in the House of Representatives of the United States during the early 19th century. The speeches primarily focus on two key issues: the tariff question and internal improvements. Stewart argues in favor of protective tariffs to support American industries and stimulate economic growth, as well as advocating for government-funded projects to improve transportation and infrastructure within the country. The book provides insight into the political and economic debates of the time, as well as the development of the American System, a set of policies aimed at promoting economic nationalism and strengthening the country's domestic economy. Overall, ""The American System"" offers a valuable perspective on the history of American economic policy and the role of government in promoting growth and development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
