Resumen del Editor

Alexander Hamilton has become a global celebrity. Millions know his name and 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 struggles over democracy, wealth, and the meaning of America that drove the nation's creation and hold enduring significance today.

A great history lesson

This was a great book on the early days of our government & the people responsible.., interesting & well written.., in fact I'm about to start a book about Albert Gallatin the Swiss immigrant from the other party that followed Hamilton in the Jefferson administration...

Fascinating reconsideration of Hamilton—and funny.

Hogeland dives deep into primary sources and sometimes pulls from them such memorable lines, making the past seem alive, but he also is just brilliant at capturing some of the absurdities of how we view the founding period and how distorted our understandings may be.
