How and why do economies and societies develop? How can America maintain competitiveness in the global marketplace? What should be the balance between economic and political goals in the conduct of foreign policy? Questions concerning relations between politics and economics are not new. Stepping back from current controversies, McNamara shows how the debates between Smith and Hamilton on the foundation of the commercial republic point to an important juncture in the history of political thought. While remaining scrupulously fair to Smith's sophisticated account of politics and economics, McNamara brings out its limitations through a comparison with the stateman Hamilton's words and deeds. He stresses that Hamilton's reservations about Smithian political economy illustrate critical practical questions regarding the nature of capitalist economic development and call into question the relationship between political theory and political practice as it was conceived by Smith. Political Economy and Statesmanship has a number of practical implications for contemporary debate. The author points toward a kind of constitutional economics distinct from that of the public choice school. McNamara suggests the need to revive the idea of an "American System" that matches economic policy with the political culture of the nation. Finally, the author affirms the idea that the United States, as the first "new nation," can serve as a model for developing nations.

It follows that the policy of laissez faire, the policy of drift in economic matters, in Which the security of the State is subordinated to the liberty of action of individuals Who merely strive to benefit themselves, has become discredited. The policy of laissez faire, Of individualism, is a policy which may be summed up in the phrase, Everyone for him self. At last it has become clear even to the most narrow-minded individualists that nation-wide co-opera tion, the harmonised and ordered effort of all the citizens for the furtherance of the common good, is a more potent factor for ensuring the national Welfare than unfettered competition, an internecine War of all against all, the bellum omnium contra.

Excerpt from Economic Statesmanship: He Great Industrial and Financial, Problems Arising From the War Economic Statesmanship has been very kindly received by both Press and public. The 1,800 copies of the first edition were quickly sold out, and as there was a continued demand for the book the question of a new edition had to be considered. Some of my critics, while giving unstinted praise to the work, expressed regret that I had not treated in it various important economic problems which have come to the forefront since the time when the book went to press. Others complained that I had not made use of the numerous and very valuable reports published by the British Board of Trade and the Ministry of Reconstruction, the majority of which, unfortunately, appeared too late for consideration and use. As they had urged me to make good these omissions should a new edition be called for, I reluctantly resolved to undertake the labour of expanding and improving the second edition in accordance with their wishes. The present edition is a very greatly enlarged one. Ten chapters, running to more than 200 pages, have been added to the original fifteen chapters. About 100 pages of new matter are devoted to an examination of the economic position and future of Russia and of Japan, to the problem of the British Merchant Marine and of the British Inland Transport System, to the British Coal Problem, and to the Land and Housing Problem in town and country.
