In general, however, all the published works have not focused their analyses from an economic point of view. While economics was for some a “dismal science” following Thomas Carlyle’s characterization of Malthus’ demographic model, it has increasingly become the “queen of the social sciences” for more practitioners. The book fills a gap in the literature by describing the American contributors as precursors and genuinely exceptional economists. We present their works within the state of the nation in which they advance their discipline. One is treated to both qualitative and quantitative theories in the opening chapter. Budding theories that became established theories of Economics and Finance are investigated in Chapters II and III. When President John Adams was confronted with M. Turgot’s criticisms of the American government, he resorted to a historic survey of types of government from ancient Greece to the Middle Ages. Similarly, we have included a final chapter, Chapter IV, to present the argument for American Exceptionalism in the domain of Political Economy and Economic Law over the ages.Economic historyEconomic policyPolitical theoryAmerica—Economic conditionsFinance—HistoryHistory of Economic Thought/Methodologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W28000Economic Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34010Political Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911010North American Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W45060Financial Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/617000Economic Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W41000Economic history.Economic policy.Political theory.America—Economic conditions.Finance—History.History of Economic Thought/Methodology.Economic Policy.Political Theory.North American Economics.Financial History.Economic History.338.9330.097309033Ramrattan Lallauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut286138Szenberg Michaelauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910337670603321American Exceptionalism1938841UNINA
