Seller Description
While Hamilton's extraordinary life has become an object of renewed popular in-terest, his ideas remain misunderstood. Radical Hamilton is a fascinating history of his political economy-as reflected in policies, correspondence, The Federalist Papers, and his neglected masterpiece, Report on Manufactures. In this engrossing narrative, Parenti explores his subject's radical ideas in the context of the tumult of the Revolutionary War, insurgent slave revolts, Shay's rebellion, and capitalism's emergence on the global stage. Parenti contrasts Hamilton to contemporaries, such as Thomas Jefferson, a paragon of conservative, slave-owning, anti-statist chinkers.
