This provocative and well-researched work looks at early American history from the standpoint of modern financial theory.Highly Recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through faculty collections.Choice

Product Review
"Business schools teach financial theories and concepts to enable MBAs to make money. In this fascinating book on early U.S. history, Robert Wright, Ph.D., uses them to explain why Americans declared independence, why they put checks and balances into their constitutions, why Jefferson defeated Adams in the critical election of 1800, why southerners were more fond of dueling than northerners, and why women went from active to passive roles in the early U.S. economy. It is an innovative and path-breaking work of historical interpretation." - Richard Sylla Henry Kaufman Professor of the History of Financial Institutions and Markets and Professor of Economics New York University
