Abstract

John Bray was born in the United States but spent his formative years (1822–1842) in England. His attention was drawn to social and industrial questions during a period as an itinerant printer in the early 1830s and also through his work with the unstamped Voice of the West Riding (1833–1834).

This chapter was originally published in The New Palgrave: A Dictionary of Economics, 1st edition, 1987. Edited by John Eatwell, Murray Milgate and Peter Newman
