The Hamilton Scheme An Epic Tale of Money and Power in the American Founding by William Hogeland

 Although this paints an interesting story of greed, corruption and power in early America and it certainly gives a different picture of Hamilton, I found it difficult to read on my Kindle. I think that a paperback would be easier because it is so thoroughly researched and detailed. Hamilton’s vision was a scheme, intended to drive the country forward based on a strong economic system. His enemies regarded his scheme as favouring the elites and the wealthy. In fact, most of the deep monetary and economic divisions today originated in the fierce battle over Hamilton’s scheme.

It’s a book that needs to be read in a slow and considered way.

I received this free ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
