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. 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aPolitical theory 606 $aAmerica?Economic conditions 606 $aFinance?History 606 $aHistory of Economic Thought/Methodology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W28000 606 $aEconomic Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34010 606 $aPolitical Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911010 606 $aNorth American Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W45060 606 $aFinancial History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/617000 606 $aEconomic History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W41000 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aPolitical theory. 615 0$aAmerica?Economic conditions. 615 0$aFinance?History. 615 14$aHistory of Economic Thought/Methodology. 615 24$aEconomic Policy. 615 24$aPolitical Theory. 615 24$aNorth American Economics. 615 24$aFinancial History. 615 24$aEconomic History. 676 $a338.9 676 $a330.097309033 700 $aRamrattan$b Lall$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0286138 702 $aSzenberg$b Michael$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337670603321 996 $aAmerican Exceptionalism$91938841 997 $aUNINA
