Hamilton's Curse
by Thomas J. DiLorenzo · 2008
★★★★★Editor's Pickintermediate
DiLorenzo argues that Alexander Hamilton — not Jefferson or Madison — was the dominant influence on the federal government, and that his legacy of centralized power, protectionism, and crony capitalism is the source of most of America's current political ills. A crucial counterpoint to the Hamilton musical.
