Millions know his name. Millions imagine knowing the man. But what did he really want for the country? What risks did he run in pursuing those vaulting ambitions? Who tried to stop him? How did they fight? It's ironic that the Hamilton revival has obscured the man's most dramatic battles and hardest-won achievements--as well as downplaying unsettling aspects of his legacy. Thrilling to the romance of becoming the one-man inventor of a modern nation, our first Treasury secretary fostered growth by engineering an ingenious dynamo--banking, public debt, manufacturing--for concentrating national wealth in the hands of a government-connected elite. Seeking American prosperity, he built American oligarchy. Hence his animus and mutual sense of betrayal with Jefferson and Madison--and his career-long fight to suppress a rowdy egalitarian movement little remembered today: the eighteenth-century white working class. Marshaling an idiosyncratic cast of insiders and outsiders, vividly dramatizing backroom intrigues and literal street fights--and sharply dissenting from recent biographies--William Hogeland's The Hamilton Scheme brings to life Hamilton's vision and the hard-knock struggles over democracy, wealth, and the meaning of America that drove the nation's creation and hold enduring significance today. 600 10 $a Hamilton, Alexander, $d 1757-1804. 650 0 $a Debts, Public $z United States $x History $y 18th century. 650 6 $a Dettes publiques $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378900 $z EÌtats-Unis $0 (CaQQLa)201-0407727 $x Histoire $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378900 $y 18e sieÌcle. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378900 650 7 $a BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Economic History. $2 bisacsh 651 0 $a United States $x Economic policy. 651 0 $a United States $x Economic conditions $y To 1865. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1783-1809. 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $x Politique eÌconomique. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0134649 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $x Conditions eÌconomiques $y Jusqu'aÌ 1865. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0099794 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $x Politique et gouvernement $y 1783-1809. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0024745 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20240604014534.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=95243AA4223B11EF96E545AA58ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
