Report on the Subject of Manufactures
Book • 2017
Hamilton's 'Report on Manufactures' advocated for government intervention to foster industrial development in the United States.
He argued that promoting manufacturing would diversify the economy, reduce dependence on foreign nations, and create a more balanced and prosperous society.
The report proposed protective tariffs, subsidies, and infrastructure improvements to stimulate domestic industries.
Hamilton believed that these policies would enhance national security, create employment opportunities, and increase overall wealth.
Although controversial at the time, the report laid the foundation for American industrial policy and shaped the nation's economic trajectory.
It remains a seminal document in the history of American economic thought.
