Alexander Hamilton's Report On The Subject Of Manufactures: Made In His Capacity Of Secretary Of The Treasury (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432519315)

""Alexander Hamilton's Report On The Subject Of Manufactures"" is a historical document written by Alexander Hamilton, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States and the first Secretary of the Treasury. The report was written in 1791 and was presented to Congress as part of Hamilton's plan to strengthen the economic foundation of the newly formed nation.The report outlines Hamilton's ideas on how the United States can become a self-sufficient and prosperous nation by developing its manufacturing industry. Hamilton believed that the country's future success depended on its ability to produce its own goods, rather than relying on imports from other countries.In the report, Hamilton argues for the government to provide support for manufacturing industries by implementing tariffs on imported goods, providing subsidies to domestic manufacturers, and promoting the development of infrastructure such as roads and canals. He also discusses the importance of education and the need for skilled workers in the manufacturing industry.The report is considered one of the most influential economic documents in American history and is still studied by economists and policymakers today. It provides insight into the economic challenges faced by the young United States and offers solutions that helped shape the country's economic policies for years to come.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
