H. C. (Henry Charles) Carey
Henry Charles Carey (1793–1879) was an influential American economist and writer, known for his works on political economy. He advocated for protectionism and opposed free trade, believing that national self-sufficiency was crucial for economic development. His major works include "Principles of Political Economy" (1837–1840) and "The Harmony of Interests" (1851), where he argued for the positive role of government in fostering economic growth. Carey's ideas significantly shaped U.S. economic policy during the 19th century, particularly during the industrialization period.
