About this title

Synopsis

The New York Social Science Review: Devoted To Political Economy And Statistics — Editors. This 1865 issue presents a collection of essays and commentaries that apply social science to contemporary American policy, advocating free trade, limited central government, and international dispute settlement. It argues that wealth and progress arise from natural laws, division of labor, and open markets rather than protectionist tariffs, and it critiques centralized power as prone to war, patronage, and inefficiency. The volume includes sharp reviews of fiscal policy, notably Fessenden’s 1864–65 finance report, urging sound money, budget discipline, and opposition to paper currency and broad revenue measures. It champions Herbert Spencer as a foundational figure for liberty, private property, and minimal government, while linking his ideas to education, moral philosophy, and social reform. Additional pieces assess Lincoln and Reconstruction, constitutional federalism, and the broader program of social science-informed policy. Overall, the issue blends economic theory, constitutional debate, and social philosophy to defend decentralization and peaceful international engagement.
