Review blurbs:
"The book is well worth reading. The author writes in an engaging style
and offers more than a couple provocative, well-defended hypotheses." --
Eh.net
"The essays achieve Wright's objective; they demonstrate with varying
clarity and substance the utility of using financial theory to understand
better the dynamics of American history as he challenges us to rethink our
paradigms." -- Journal of American History
"There is useful and interesting information here." -- American
Historical Review
"Wright effectively documents his arguments with an impressive reference
to many relatively unused sources. Wright's style is fluent and lucid. He has
provided a good clear account of some important but relatively untouched
subjects." -- Journal of the Early
Republic
"This provocative and well-researched work examines early American
history from the standpoint of modern financial theory. Highly recommended.
Upper-division undergraduate through faculty collections." -- Choice
