Volume I of The Art of Political Finance is a macro-economic primer and orientation to the political and financial history of the United States. Part I covers the period from the Colonial Era through Reconstruction. It reveals trends through the history of money, banking, and party politics that were at the foundation of consolidated capital and the concentration of power. The entire volume confronts economic philosophy touching on the differences, similarities, and conflicts between Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, Andrew Jackson and Nicholas Biddle, and to the lesser-known ideas of Peter Cooper that often opposed financial officiating by John Sherman and his colleagues. Without an understanding of the events of the 19th century, the major backdrop of this volume, we cannot fully understand the United States in its current form considering the residual cultural and economic values and political systems that perdure.
The author has added over 60 full-color illustrations throughout the book.
