A Union of Interests: Political and Economic Thought in Revolutionary America

By Cathy D. Matson

Book Overview

From the onset of the Revolution in 1776 to the inauguration of the federal government in 1789, American political culture was transformed. The movement for an effective continental republic is linked to economic freedom and development set off by the Revolution. A Union of Interests reconstructs the discourse of American federalism, a discourse grounded in the intense debate over the role of government in the regulation of the economy.
