| | American System (economics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The name, "American System," was coined by Clay to distinguish it, as a school of thought, from the competing theory of economics at the time, the British System represented by Adam Smith in his work Wealth of Nations. | | | After ten years of this system the American centennial celebration, celebrated in 1876 in Philadelphia at the Centennial Exposition, was formally opened by President Ulysses S. Grant [20], and served as a showcase for the achievements of the United States[21]. | | | It wasn't until the election of President Abraham Lincoln in 1860 that the American system would be fully enacted with a series of laws (due in part to the lack of Southern opposition) in the government during the American Civil War. |

| | Respsonding to host Vecchio’s query concerning American economic thinking, and John Maynard Keynes, LaRouche explained that many people in Europe tend to concentrate on Keynes, when they debate free-market economics, as opposed to other schools in economics, while the American school of economics actually goes back to President Lincoln. | | | Economist Panizza underlined the importance of what LaRouche said, regarding the three "American System" economists—Alexander Hamilton, Friedrich List, and Henry Carey—given the demonstrated failure of present economic theories in facing the world financial crisis. | | | As is happening in country after country around the world, these Brazilian patriots wanted to hear, from LaRouche personally, what the alternatives are to today’s disintegrating global financial system. |

| | Liberation Theology and Economics: Like Oil and Water? |
| | This is not to deny that American foreign policy in Latin America gives the liberation theologians and dependency theorists powerful ammunition to condemn "the system." But the intrusive policies of American politics into Latin America should not be viewed as benefiting US interests in general. | | | It is in the context of this opposing view to mainstream development economics that we turn again to liberation theology. | | | But to blame the current situation as an example of the failure of capitalism, as dependency theory does, is to both misname the economic situation and to shift attention away from the solutions. |

| | Frank H. Knight |
| | Knight's peculiar ethical assault on the market system and "apologetic economics" did not diminish his penchant for laissez-faire as a policy conclusion. | | | While irreducibly Neoclassical in a general sense, Knight's peculiar economics were a direct inheritance of his Cornell professor, Herbert J. Davenport and what was then called the "American Psychological School" which sought to ground the Marginalist high theory of Jevons, Wicksteed and the Austrians in the relativist foundations of Thorstein Veblen's methodology. | | | The "Grand Old Man" of Chicago, Frank H. Knight was one of the century's most eclectic economists and perhaps the deepest thinker and scholar American economics has produced. |
