ABSTRACT

The preceding chapters will have served to give the reader some idea of McCulloch as a man. It should also have helped to indicate the aspects of his life which make him of particular interest to those concerned with the development of classical economics and with the growth of the influence of economists. In McCulloch's case, this influence was wielded partly through economic journalism and teaching; and his career is an interesting example of the acceptance of an economist into society as expert in a particular discipline.
