200 Years Since Hamilton’s ‘Report on Manufactures’
by Nora Hamerman
Alexander Hamilton’s famous report, which was never given legislative approval, created the seed-crystal of what became the American System of Political Economy. This system, which has been obscured by two centuries of lying Anglophile historiography, was what really made America’s economy great. Its revival is long overdue.

The Fight To Bring the American System to 19th-Century Russia
by Rachel Douglas and Barbara Frazier
The foremost statesmen who promoted the American System in Russia were Dmitri Mendeleyev, otherwise known for his development of the Periodic Law in chemistry, and Count Sergei Witte, Russian finance minister from 1892 to 1903. Their polemics in connection with the adoption of the protective tariff of 1891, and other writings, expound the economic ideas of Hamilton and List.

Hamilton’s Ghost Haunts Washington from Tokyo

Japan today is the greatest living “success story” today of Alexander Hamilton and the American System of Political Economy. It is Hamilton’s success, in Japanese form, which has come back to
haunt a United States now grown weak and decadent by its rejection of Hamilton’s programs.
