In 1789, what would the man who cornered the new Secretary of the Treasury in a tavern, or the woman who sat across from him at a dinner party, tell Hamilton he urgently needed to do? Even laymen knew the US was a nation in crisis. The economy was so slow that people had trouble making a living. States continued to act unilaterally rather than as part of a whole. Added to that were a shortage of money in circulation, lack of government revenue, and massive debt owed by the government to its own citizens. What programs did Hamilton create to address this Gordian Knot? Why did his programs prove so useful that they remained in place even when the US became increasingly prosperous? Included in this volume are substantial quotes from Hamilton and his contemporaries, plus all of Hamilton's major policy papers, made easier to read via outline headings and highlighted passages. This is a must-read for fans of Hamilton, history buffs, and even economists.
