Financial Programs of Alexander Hamilton

<p>UNIQUE: looks at Hamilton's programs from the perspective of Hamilton's contemporaries using primary sources. In late 1789 what would the man who cornered Secretary Hamilton in a tavern or the woman who sat across from him at a dinner party tell Hamilton he urgently needed to fix? How did Ham-ilton's programs address those crises? And what made those programs so useful that the programs remained in place long after the crises of the 1780s and 1790s were resolved?</p><p>VIVID: Like a novel history is more gripping if it's told with dialogue rather than third-person exposition. This book provides historical context and then as often as possible lets Hamilton and his contemporaries speak for themselves.  </p><p>Appendixes 1-3 include Hamilton's major policy papers broken up with outline headings for easier reading (pp. 193-354).</p><p>Dianne L.
