In addition, he served on a commission that controls interstate commerce. Like many other well-known economists, Adams has seriously changed the global approach to finance. He studied the relationship between the public and private sectors, which allowed the state to change the principles of economic regulation. His theories did not coincide with the views of Adam Smith. Henry Adams believed that society and the state should determine economic policy together. Among other things, Henry influenced the development of railways in America, often acting in this area as an expert.
