Economists such as E. Peshine Smith,23 who later played a key role in bringing the ‘American System of Manufactures’ to Japan, Matthew Carey, Daniel Raymond, Alexander Everett, Calvin Colton, Francis Bowen and Stephen Colwell are unknown today. Only Henry Carey is remembered by a few. This is of course a parallel to the well-established ‘fact’ of economic science that the Renaissance economists who brought Europe out of the Middle Ages all belonged to the despised category of ‘mercantilists’. We have collectively absorbed Adam Smith’s caricature of all economists before himself: that they mistook gold for real wealth.
M. Keynes or the ‘ecocirc’ of Ragnar Frisch. In this system increasing the standards of living of the majority of the population is not only a moral imperative, it becomes an economic necessity in order to keep the economy growing. Once the virtuous circle of increased productivity/increased real wages starts operating, increasing the real wages of the common man becomes a necessary economic policy if the system is to be perpetuated. The leading historian and theoretician of economics in Germany in the middle of the nineteenth century was Wilhelm Roscher, whose Principles, book IV, is devoted to consumption.
Later, during the Phoenician dominance of Mediterranean trade (from about 1500 to about 500 BC), there was clear practical recognition of the Other Canon principle that adding knowledge and labour to raw materials through the production of manufactured goods produces a superior standard of living to only extracting and selling the raw produce. We find this same theory clearly stated in Botero (1590), but only Serra (1613) would later explain the economic mechanisms behind this principle: why the Republic of Venice, with little or no raw materials, was so rich compared to the Kingdom of Naples, with its abundance of natural wealth.
