But, as in France, anti-economics with a backward gaze did not secure the greatest influence in the mid-nineteenth century. Instead, a greater influence was won by Right doctrinaires who threw away a concrete past, in the hope of building a marvellous future based on the supremacy of command and obedience. George Fitzhugh (1806–81) was an anti-economist, and one of the most enthusiastic ideologists of slavery who emerged in the ante-bellum American South. He was not content to have slavery merely defended as the South’s ‘peculiar institution’; to Fitzhugh slavery was an institution of universal desirability, in all times and places.

Maverick politicians Politicians composed another group of Right anti-economists.
