The Political Economy of Alexander Hamilton

M. L. Burstein

Chapter 9 in Studies in Banking Theory, Financial History and Vertical Control, 1988, pp 110-142 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract As a child, in the West Indies, Hamilton doubtless found Europe a more agreeable vista than America’s trackless forests, punctuated by squalid settlements. In his prime, he was repelled by America’s intellectual disorder (see McDonald, 1979)-but not by its avarice, noted by Tocqueville and J. S. Mill, who coined the trope, ‘the almighty dollar’.
