The Weaning of the American Economy: Independence, Market Changes, and Economic Development*

Gordon C. Bjork

The Journal of Economic History, 1964, vol. 24, issue 4, 541-560

Abstract: Disagreement on the state of the economic health of the new nation has persisted since contemporary observers disputed over the changes wrought by the end of the War for Inpendence. In recent years, diagnosis has ranged from the gloomy picture of commercial depression painted by Curtis Nettels to the rather different evaluation of Merrill Jensen, who found the period “one of extraordinary economic growth.”
