Hamilton's Curse
With the Constitution in place and George Washington made president, Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton was empowered to make the new government in his image. Unsurprisingly, a man who celebrated the corruption of the old European order was quick to install a regime inspired by mercantilists like Jean-Baptiste Colbert.
In this episode, Patrick and Tho pinpoint the special interest that benefitted most from the Hamiltonian era, and how its failings sowed the seeds for the Jeffersonian Revolution of 1800.
