OF ILLINOIS,1926URBANA,ILLINOIS1928  \n# HISTORY OF ECONOMIC THEORY IN THEUNITED STATES 1820 TO 1866\n\nThis thesis purports to be a history of econemic theory inthe United States from 182o to 1866,with attention on the onehand to its English sources,and on the other to the conditionsand forces of American life.The following subjects,fallingwithin the general field of economic theory,are treated at length:Rent,Wages,Profits,Population,Diminishing Returns,Value,and International Trade.These subjects are considered in thisorder in successive chapters and together constitute the bodyof the thesis.Two introductory chapters precede,and a chapteron the Social Philosophy of the early American economistsconcludes the study.  \nThe method of procedure is as follows:The work of thosewriters who reject one or more of the leading principles ofEnglish political economy is treated in full,and the work ofothers,which is of this same general character but which is lessdeserving of attention,is then noticed briefly under the headingof minor Writers.Chapter Six,for example,on The Theory ofPopulation,presents at length the treatment of this subject byEverett,Tucker,Carey,and Bowen,on the ground that thesewriters are the chief anti-Malthusians,and then proceeds tonotice very briefly the work of several other writers.In the caseof two subjects(Diminishing Returns and Social Philosophy)the argument proceeds according to subject matter and not ac-cording to author as above.  \nThe period commences with 182o,because in this year therewas published the first American work devoted exclusively tothe subject,Thoughts on Political Economy,²by Daniel Ray-mond.Raymond's work is of special interest for the reason thathe took issue sharply with some of the leading doctrines of Eng-lish political economy.The period closes with the publication in1866 of Amasa Walker's Science of Wealth.It is appropriateto close with this work because no other general treatise appeared  \nuntil 1883(Francis A.Walker's Political Economy),and be-cause by this time English political economy had undergone im-portant changes under the influence of Jevons and the
