We have not needed to wait for the book to settle this matter. DiLorenzo cites, not just carelessly but upon a challenge to his thesis, the Lincoln Douglas Debates and the Peoria speech as two places where Lincoln reveals his passionate support of Whig economics. Upon inspection, the passages prove to be about slavery. When this is pointed out in a second column, he refuses to acknowledge that the passages in question are simply not about economics.
