So far as I know, to the degree the Ts had any "economic" ideas, they got   
them from Fourier, via Albert Brisbane. The only consequence of the   
movement in economic thought that I can remember is Horace Greeley, and   
he's hardly an economist, though after the Civil War he did publish a book   
about "the science of political economy," in 1870. I'll look tonight in   
Joseph Dorman's volumes.
