Henry Charles Carey, 1793-1879.
A proponent of optimistic, domestic laissez-faire in the style of the Manchester School. The
American economist
Henry C. Carey was nonetheless a doctrinaire protectionist as far as foreign trade
are concerned. Although his ideas were much disparaged for their vulgarity and
inconsistency, they are perhaps more closely in line with the land theories of value of Cantillon and the Physiocrats.
