YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Joining us tonight is Christian Parenti, associate professor of economics at John Jay College, CUNY, to discuss the life and politics of founding father Alexander Hamilton as the primary architect of American capitalism and the developmental state. In this vivid retelling of history, Hamilton emerges as a singularly important historical figure: a thinker and politico who laid the foundation for America’s ascent to global supremacy and mass industrialization—for better or worse.
