The Founders and Finance: How Hamilton,Gallatin, and Other Immigrants Forged a New Economy

摘要

This is an extraordinarily good book. For anyone interested in American revolutionary history, in political economy or in the legacy of deficits and debt, The Founders and Finance is worthwhile reading. Tom McCraw, a mentor and close friend at the Harvard Business School for the past thirty years, has completed his eminent career as a policy historian in grand style. This dual biography of Alexander Hamilton and Albert Gallatin is superbly written. McCraw, who died just as this book was published, has mastered both engaging biography and clear analysis of the political and financial origins of the United States.
