Description
In this volume, John Crowley argues that the US colonies' successful revolt did not mean they wished to end their privileged commercial dependence on Great Britain. From the 1760s through the mid-1790s, in fact, Anglo-American political economists grappled with the transistion from a "de jure" to a "de facto" economic dependence of the new states on their former mother country. Crowley shows that the Revolutionaries were not principled free-traders and that British pundits and policymakers who took a hard line against the Americans after the war were more influenced by Adam Smith than their antagonists on either side of the Atlantic.
