Producers Versus Capitalists Constitutional Conflict in Antebellum America

This study focuses on how antebellum constitutional law and principles responded to and shaped producers' appeals for protection from capitalists' predations. Placing the constitutional system's operation in the context of the nation's profound ideological and social conflicts, Tony A. Freyer suggests that the normative force of constitutional values often enabled pro-producer, protectionist policies to be enacted, despite an emerging corporate and mercantile capitalist consensus.Freyer, Tony A. is the author of 'Producers Versus Capitalists Constitutional Conflict in Antebellum America' with ISBN 9780813914961 and ISBN 0813914965.
