Book Overview

Marcellus Clay Jr.An Examination of Mr. Calhoun's Economy, Part 1: And An Apology for Those Members of Congress Who Have Been Denounced as Radicals is a political pamphlet written by Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. in 1823. The book is a critique of John C. Calhoun, a prominent politician and advocate of states' rights during the early 19th century. Clay argues that Calhoun's economic policies, particularly his support for protective tariffs, are harmful to the American economy and unfairly benefit the wealthy elite at the expense of the working class.In addition to his critique of Calhoun, Clay also defends the so-called ""radical"" members of Congress who had been criticized for their progressive views on issues such as slavery and economic reform. Clay argues that these politicians are unfairly maligned by their opponents and are actually working to promote the greater good of the American people.Overall, An Examination of Mr. Calhoun's Economy is an important historical document that sheds light on the political debates of the early 19th century and provides insight into the economic and social issues that were shaping American society at the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
