Only on a free market where production is determined by consumer preferences can those preferences be satisfied to the greatest extent. Likewise a textile operator in New England could obtain milk more cheaply from the Pennsylvania dairy farmer than on his own efforts at the sacrifice of clothing.

Elimination of trade barriers allowed the division of labor to develop unimpeded, thereby greatly increasing productivity by an efficient allocation of factors of production.Ī dairy farmer in Pennsylvania could obtain a cigar more cheaply from a tobacco farmer in Virginia than by growing his own at the sacrifice of dairy products. A uniform money removed the inefficiency of bartering different monies and the uncertainty of currency fluctuations.

Constitution authorizes Congress “to coin money” and forbids the states from printing or coining money it forbids the states from erecting trade barriers and authorizes Congress “to regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the several states.”īy allowing the market to broaden, the integration of state economies had immense benefits. Some, like Rhode Island, inflated it away and suffered a boom-bust cycle others, like Massachusetts, raised taxes to pay it, squelching economic activity and spawning open rebellion.ĭelegates from the states sent to Constitutional Convention in 1787 put high priority on solving these problems of interstate trade. Large and unequal government debt existed from state to state. Each state had its own paper currency which appreciated or depreciated against those of other states, increasing uncertainty and therefore inhibiting interstate trade. Some, like Virginia, tried to stimulate their existing agricultural cash crops others, like Connecticut, tried to stimulate industrial development at the expense of agriculture. Prior to ratification of the Constitution, states had their own development policies. The United States and Japan in 1995? No, this situation described the relationship between the states in 1780. Governments were threatening trade wars with retaliatory tariffs and quotas, belligerents suffered currency devaluations and balance of payments deficits, and everyone threatened legal action.
