The America that Alexander Hamilton knew was largely agricultural and built on slave labor. He envisioned something else: a multi-racial, urbanized, capitalistic America with a strong central government. He believed that such an America would be a land of opportunity for the poor and the newcomers. But Hamilton’s vision put him at odds with his archrivals who envisioned a pastoral America of small towns, where governments were local, states would control their own destiny, and the federal government would remain small and weak. The disputes that arose during America’s first decades continued through American history to our present day. Over time, because of the systems Hamilton set up and the ideas he left, his vision won out. Here is the story that epitomizes the American dream—a poor immigrant who made good in America. In the end, Hamilton rose from poverty through his intelligence and ability, and did more to shape our country than any of his contemporaries. Related subjects and concepts discussed in the book include: Law and Legal Concepts Due process Bill of Rights Freedom of Speech and the Press Originalism / nonoriginalism (theories of Constitutional interpretation) Government Checks and Balances Democracy Electoral College Republic Financial Concepts Capitalism Credit Inflation Interest Mercantilism Securities: Stocks and Bonds Tariffs Taxes Miscellaneous Demagogues Dueling PastoralismAbout the SeriesThe Making of America series traces the constitutional history of the United States through overlapping biographies of American men and women. The debates that raged when our nation was founded have been argued ever since: How should the Constitution be interpreted? What is the meaning, and where are the limits of personal liberty? What is the proper role of the federal government? Who should be included in “we the people”? Each biography in the series tells the story of an American leader who helped shape the United States of today.

Desde la peque a isla de Nevis en la que naci , Alexander Hamilton lleg a convertirse en miembro del personal de George Washington en el Ej rcito Continental, delegado en la Convenci n de Ratificaci n de la Constituci n, fundador del Banco de Nueva York, autor junto con James Madison y John Jay de El Federalista, l der del reci n creado Partido Federalista y primer Secretario del Tesoro de los Estados Unidos. Todo ello antes de cumplir los cuarenta a os. Es probable que no exista un solo hombre, ni siquiera entre los Padres Fundadores, que haya dejado una huella tan profunda en la configuraci n de los actuales Estados Unidos como la de Hamilton. Aun as , su biograf a sigue siendo en cierta medida desconocida por el gran p blico. El periodista y especialista en banca Charles A. Conant, descendiente de uno de los primeros colonos de Nueva Inglaterra, sintetiza con brillantez en esta obra los principales logros de la carrera p blica de Hamilton, as como sus decisivas batallas para lograr la ratificaci n un nime de la Constituci n y el fortalecimiento del futuro gobierno. Su libro ofrece una visi n panor mica y precisa de su figura. Ron Chernow, autor de la una de las biograf as m s completas de Alexander Hamilton hasta la fecha, sostiene que rechazar su legado significa, en muchos sentidos, rechazar el mundo moderno. Es una afirmaci n muy justa. La claridad de ideas y la determinaci n de Hamilton fueron cruciales para combatir las importantes amenazas que afrontar an los Estados Unidos hasta llegar a convertirse en la potencia actual. El mundo que hoy conocemos tiene muchas de las caracter sticas que Hamilton supo acertadamente prever. En solitario y de forma en gran parte autodidacta, Hamilton ensay un sistema de gobierno que no ten a precedentes en la pr ctica y, a pesar de que sus intuiciones no fuesen siempre correctas, dispuso los mecanismos necesarios para resolver incluso sus propios errores. Su f rrea determinaci n y su aptitud como estadista fueron claves para el xito del proceso de uni n de las Trece Colonias bajo la misma Constituci n, as como para sentar las bases del sistema financiero de los futuros Estados Unidos de Am rica, elemento cuya importancia hoy nadie osar a discutir, pero que en aquella poca fue objeto de enconadas disputas. La presente edici n incluye en los anexos tres discursos del propio Hamilton ante la Convenci n de Nueva York de 1788, en los que puede observarse de primera mano su estilo inteligente y razonado, capaz de desmontar uno por uno todos los prejuicios que en su poca amenazaban con truncar el nacimiento de la Uni n. Incluye tambi n im genes de los principales personajes mencionados en el libro. La vida de Hamilton fue, en varios aspectos, una lucha constante por aquello que consideraba justo. Resulta ilustrativo de su car cter el hecho de que la perdiese precisamente en la nica batalla que no emprendi por voluntad propia, y que no deseaba ganar.

What did Alexander Hamilton ever do besides get shot in a duel by Aaron Burr? When it comes to the American government, the answer is: practically everything.Born in the West Indies, Hamilton was the illegitimate child of a Scottish nobleman who lost a fortune in sugar plantations. Orphaned as a teenager, he came to America in search of an education, a home, and the war that would at last bring him fame and honor. As George Washington's most trusted aide, Hamilton helped to win the American Revolution-but after the war, his enemies lost no time accusing him of trying to sell his country back to the British. He was the most powerful member of Washington's presidential cabinet-so why did Adams and Jefferson hate him so much?In this book, you will learn how the author of the Federalist Papers and the first Secretary of the Treasury nearly ruined his career by fighting duels, seducing women, and getting involved in America's first sex scandal. The duel that killed Alexander Hamilton is the most famous duel in American history, but you'll have to come up with your own answer to its greatest mystery: who shot first, Hamilton or Burr?
