Selected Writings and Speeches of Alexander Hamilton

Alexander Hamilton was truly a rare combination: active influential politician and powerful original thinker.

He played a critical role in the formation of the United States as delegate to the Constitutional Convention in 1787; coauthor, with James Madison and John Jay, of the Federalist Papers; and the first secretary of the treasury.

His economic writings contributed to the transformation of America from a handful of small, isolated agrarian states into the powerful industrial nation of today.

His writings on the presidency helped shape an office at once powerful enough to deal with the major problems of domestic and foreign policy and yet not so powerful as to threaten political liberty.

Here, in one volume, are the most important of Hamilton's political and economic writings and speeches.

Reissued 40 years after its first publication, this compendium now includes a new introductory essay by Adam J. White and Gary J. Schmitt of the American Enterprise Institute.
