At the war's end, the national government owed tremendous sums to foreign creditors and its own citizens. But lacking the power to tax, it had no means to repay them. The Founders and Finance is the first book to tell the story of how foreign-born financial specialists--immigrants--solved the fiscal crisis and set the United States on a path to long-term economic success. Pulitzer Prize--winning author Thomas K. McCraw analyzes the skills and worldliness of Alexander Hamilton (from the Danish Virgin Islands), Albert Gallatin (from the Republic of Geneva), and other immigrant founders who guided the nation to prosperity. Their expertise with liquid capital far exceeded that of native-born plantation owners Washington, Jefferson, and Madison, who well understood the management of land and slaves but had only a vague knowledge of financial instruments--currencies, stocks, and bonds. The very rootlessness of America's immigrant leaders gave them a better understanding of money, credit, and banks, and the way each could be made to serve the public good. The remarkable financial innovations designed by Hamilton, Gallatin, and other immigrants enabled the United States to control its debts, to pay for the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, and--barely--to fight the War of 1812, which preserved the nation's hard-won independence from Britain |

At the war's end, the national government owed tremendous sums to foreign creditors and its own citizens. But lacking the power to tax, it had no means to repay them. The Founders and Finance is the first book to tell the story of how foreign-born financial specialists--immigrants--solved the fiscal crisis and set the United States on a path to long-term economic success. Pulitzer Prize--winning author Thomas K. McCraw analyzes the skills and worldliness of Alexander Hamilton (from the Danish Virgin Islands), Albert Gallatin (from the Republic of Geneva), and other immigrant founders who guided the nation to prosperity. Their expertise with liquid capital far exceeded that of native-born plantation owners Washington, Jefferson, and Madison, who well understood the management of land and slaves but had only a vague knowledge of financial instruments--currencies, stocks, and bonds. The very rootlessness of America's immigrant leaders gave them a better understanding of money, credit, and banks, and the way each could be made to serve the public good. The remarkable financial innovations designed by Hamilton, Gallatin, and other immigrants enabled the United States to control its debts, to pay for the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, and--barely--to fight the War of 1812, which preserved the nation's hard-won independence from Britain Gallatin, Albert / 1761-1849 fast Hamilton, Alexander / 1757-1804 fast Hamilton, Alexander / 1757-1804 Gallatin, Albert / 1761-1849 Gallatin, Albert 1761-1849 Hamilton, Alexander 1757-1804 Hamilton, Alexander 1757-1804 (DE-588)118545302 gnd rswk-swf Gallatin, Albert 1761-1849 (DE-588)119467143 gnd rswk-swf American Revolution (1775-1783) fast United States / Dept. of the Treasury / History 1775 - 1865 fast Geschichte 1775-1865 gnd rswk-swf Economic policy fast Finance, Public fast Monetary policy fast Political science fast BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Economic Conditions bisacsh BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Economic History bisacsh BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Economics / Comparative bisacsh POLITICAL SCIENCE / Economic Conditions bisacsh HISTORY / United States / 19th Century bisacsh Finanzwirtschaft Geschichte Politische Wissenschaft Wirtschaft Wirtschaftspolitik Finance, Public United States History Monetary policy United States History Finanzwirtschaft (DE-588)4017214-4 gnd rswk-swf Öffentliche Schulden (DE-588)4043153-8 gnd rswk-swf Wirtschaftspolitik (DE-588)4066493-4 gnd rswk-swf Finanzminister (DE-588)4154421-3 gnd rswk-swf USA USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Hamilton, Alexander 1757-1804 (DE-588)118545302 p Gallatin, Albert 1761-1849 (DE-588)119467143 p Finanzminister (DE-588)4154421-3 s Wirtschaftspolitik (DE-588)4066493-4 s Finanzwirtschaft (DE-588)4017214-4 s Öffentliche Schulden (DE-588)4043153-8 s Geschichte 1775-1865 z 1\p DE-604 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=502713 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
