However, he gets it wrong that the proponents of the 'harmony of interests' were " classical liberals". The phrase was coined by Henry Carey in the 19th Century who went to pains to contrast his national-system economics with that of the British-Manchester one of laissez-faire, which is classical liberalism. Economic-nationalism is neo-mercantilist in foundation, something that classical liberalism holds as anthema. Good rah-rah article…Hawkins is eloquent as always in bashing globalism.
