  • Resumen

  • The text is an excerpt from Alexander Hamilton’s 1791 Report on Manufactures, which argues for government support of American manufacturing. Hamilton examines arguments against the encouragement of manufacturing, especially those that claim agriculture is more productive than manufacturing. He contends that these arguments are based on a misunderstanding of how both industries contribute to national wealth and income. He argues that manufacturing promotes greater efficiency and productivity, particularly through the division of labor and the use of machinery, and that it can lead to a more diverse and resilient economy. Hamilton also explores various policy measures, such as tariffs, bounties, and premiums, which can be used to encourage the growth of manufacturing and its associated industries.
