Political Economy and Reality: Problems in the Interpretation of the American Revolution
There are two theories on the subject of "Political Economy"1 and the ideological origins of the American Revolution, both put forward by members of the "Ideological School," and both false. The first holds that economic considera- tions have little place in any ideological interpretation of the colonial rebellion against the mother country. The second, and adverse, theory holds that economic developments are central to any explanation of revolut…

Money and Politics in America, 1755-1775: A Study in the Currency Act of 1764 and the Political Economy of Revolution
Although it is obvious that politics, money, and economic conditions were closely interrelated in the twenty years before the Revolution, this is the first account to bring together these strands of early American experience. Ernst also provides and analytical case study of the impact on America of British monetary policy during a period of dramatic shifts in the Atlantic economy and suggests that earlier studies are questionable because of theor…

Urbanization in the Colonial South: A Critique
Joseph A. Ernst and H. Roy Merrens offer a new interpretation of the significance of urbanization in the southern colonies during the eighteenth century.'

Now, about Those Facts and Figures
Ideology and the Political Economy of Revolution
Studies in the political economy of the American Revolution are not popular just now. Those "Progressive" historians who took up the theme and suggested a broad pattern of political explanation against the back- ground of economic history have few followers today. If there is a pre- vailing interpretation at present, it is that of the so-called "Neo-Whigs". According to this view, abstract ideas rather than political and economic conflict, and fe…

Green's Finance and Economic Development in the Old South? According to its subtitle (which, of course, in the curious fashion of all recent works of history is its true title), the study is about "Louisiana Banking, 1804-1861." Yet by actual count of …

The Currency Act Repeal Movement: A Study of Imperial Politics and Revolutionary Crisis, 1764-1767
N April I764 Parliament passed a currency act for the regulation of I paper money and the protection of British investments in the colonies outside New England. Ambiguous in its wording, the new law, as administered, forbade the issue of additional legal-tender paper and the reissue of old notes as they came due. Existing supplies of currency remained intact. Nevertheless, within a year a rapid contraction of wartime emissions and a growing short…
