Thursday, May 16, 2024 - 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. EDT
Author William Hogeland will discuss how Alexander Hamilton, America鈥檚 first Secretary of the Treasury, fostered growth by engineering an ingenious dynamo including banking, public debt, and manufacturing. Marshaling an idiosyncratic cast of insiders and outsiders, The Hamilton Scheme brings to life Hamilton鈥檚 vision and the hard-knock struggles over democracy, wealth, and the meaning of America that drove the nation鈥檚 creation and hold enduring significance today. Joining the author in conversation will be author Robert Sullivan.
