Henry Charles Carey

“Protection, as we have seen, looks to the cheapening of the commodity.”

“To the consumer, the price of an article is the amount of labour that he must give in exchange for it.”

“Man, the molecule of society, is the subject of Social Science.”

“The first and most important of all commodities to be exchanged is labour.”

“The real difficulty is with the vast wealth and power in the hands of the few.”

“War is a great destroyer of men and capital.”

“Of all the raw materials, the most valuable, and the one that should be least wasted, is mind.”

“Among the evidences of a decline of civilization is an increasing tendency to the centralization of power.”

“The great instrument of progress is the freedom of the human mind.”

“The more perfect the diversity of employments, the greater is the tendency to a steady and regular demand for labour.”

“Trade is, in its essence, the business of the people.”

“The system of the present day, on the contrary, looks to cheapening the laborer.”
