Henry Carey (1793-1879), was an American economist. His writings were translated into many of the European and Asian languages, and with his predecessors, Friedrich List, Henry Clay, and Alexander Hamilton, he was the main representative of the American School of Economics, or the Nationalist School, as opposed to the British School of Economics, which was represented at that time by John Stuart Mill, and earlier writers, such as Thomas Malthus, David Ricardo and Adam Smith. Carey was the representative of the Nationalist School throughout the world.
