Dissenting from both right-wing claims and certain liberal preconceptions, Founding Finance brings to life the violent conflicts over economics, class, and finance that played directly, and in many ways ironically, into the hardball politics of forming the nation and ratifying the Constitution?conflicts that still continue to affect our politics, legislation, and debate today. Mixing lively narrative with fresh views of America?s founders, William Hogeland offers a new perspective on America?s economic infancy: foreclosure crises that make our current one look mild; investment bubbles in land and securities that drove rich men to high-risk borrowing and mad displays of ostentation before dropping them into debtors? prisons; depressions longer and deeper than the great one of the twentieth century; crony mercantilism, war profiteering, and government corruption that undermine any nostalgia for a virtuous early republic; and predatory lending of scarce cash at exorbitant, unregulated rates, which forced people into bankruptcy, landlessness, and working in the factories and on the commercial farms of their creditors. This story exposes and corrects a perpetual historical denial?by movements across the political spectrum?of America?s all-important founding economic clashes, a denial that weakens and cheapens public discourse on American finance just when we need it most. 410 0$aDiscovering America series ;$v5. 606 $aFinance, Public$zUnited States$xHistory$y1789-1801 606 $aDebts, Public$zUnited States$xHistory$y1789-1801 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1789-1797 615 0$aFinance, Public$xHistory 615 0$aDebts, Public$xHistory 676 $a336.7309/033 700 $aHogeland$b William$01481065 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786174303321 996 $aFounding finance$93697887 997 $aUNINA
