For a long time I've been waiting for a book that explores one of the more diabolical figures in American history, Alexander Hamilton. It's been a few years now since I started joking with my wife--usually after one too many drams of scotch--that I'd love to write a book called "Hamilton's Curse" that examined the malignant philosophy of Hamilton and his cadre of state-worshipers.
Lo and behold, one of my favorite historians Thomas J. DiLorenzo--of The Real Lincoln fame--has written it! Check out his latest post on the book here from the Ludwig von Mises Institute.
Hamilton was nothing if not a constant and vociferous voice for government centralization, government banking cartels, monetary manipulation, tariffs, and militarization.
While appologists take Hamilton as a savior of American finance, creating a 'modern system' of government finance that built the nations treasury, he built a system and philosophy "the American System" that inspired generations of tyrants.

Say Yes to indigenous power and individual sovereignty! Check out COMMON SENSE; Revisited, a short pamphlet written with one purpose in mind: to light the fire of liberty that burns within every human heart. It explains how a return to founding principles can help us solve the many problems that face our country today. We believe it does justice to its predecessor, COMMON SENSE, written by Thomas Paine in 1776, which changed the course of the world. You can download the entire PDF for any price you choose (or purchase physical copies) at www.commonsenserevisited.org
