The Hamilton Scheme Quotes

“Yet it’s a guiding precept for this book that the official story can’t be truly appreciated without bringing into focus the opposing story of an unofficial conflict to which Hamilton himself gave particularly intense attention. It’s a conflict between the famous founders and a movement on behalf of ordinary American workers—on behalf, that is, of free labor, the group often called the white working class today.”
― William Hogeland, The Hamilton Scheme: An Epic Tale of Money and Power in the American Founding
