Hamilton's Betrayal

George C. Leef / Campaign for Liberty:
Hamilton's Curse: How Jefferson's Archenemy Betrayed the American Revolution -- and What It Means for America Today by Thomas J. DiLorenzo (Crown Forum 2008); 232 pages. There is a tendency among Americans to think of the nation’s Founders as a group of wealthy white men who owned property, didn't like British rule, and all thought pretty much alike.

Two of the most famous among them, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, held to profoundly different visions of the path the nation should take.
