This video is misleading and H. is surely rolling over in his grave at it. Hamilton's goal was to consolidate capital in order for PRIVATE entrepreneurs to have access to it. It's based largely on Hume's ideas; along with the great SUCCESS the British system of Banking did for their own economy. I could say much more but at the moment I am just disgusted This is a complete travesty of history & the authors of it should be ashamed. Hamilton was and is the Greatest American & this is LIBEL
@jjfcooper well now...what can I say to this? I suppose I cannot offer a rebuttal since the link is not working on what Ol Mr. Beck's has to say. However, in the meantime, look at the video response below. Click "see all comments", and peruse some more of my thought. As too my teachers, since I own - and have read, the entire set of : "The Papers of Alexander Hamilton" by Syrett and Cooke I think one might not be so quick to condemn those educators - except of course, my grammar teacher
@Kierkegaard73 a priori rebuttal?, there no room for a reflection?, the free spirit always give a chance to the reflection. For love i will spend my time uploading the page to a new location. Read carefully: bit*ly/Kierke
@Lissbirds ... There is no comparison between Jefferson and Hamilton. The latter was a Statesman of the highest quality while the former, well,... yet certainly not a statesman. Perhaps an oligarchical eccentric manipulator with no consistency between his thoughts and actions..
How can "an oligarchical eccentric manipulator" can be a "the Greatest American" unless all the americans must be either oligarchical, manipulators or eccentrics.
@jjfcooper A priori rebuttal??? I admit I have read Kant and other such speculative philosophy; and you'll excuse me if I would prefer to remain an existing human-being and not become some sort of abstract-being so that I may philosophize in the metaphysical sphere. "Latter" refers to Hamilton, former refers to "Jeffy". Now, what would you like to be free spirited with in your reflection? Perhaps the 18th cent. Financial Rev . and its impact on that century's social and/or political thght?..
@jjfcooper ....perhaps David Hume's influence on the younger Founders thoughts - both politically, w/Checks and Balances; and Financially, with what he saw growing up in Scotland - Think the rise of Banks. Or how about Natural Law theorists, or how about James Harrington school of thought which shaped Bolingbroke and his tirades against Walpole that had much influence on Jeffy. Be free Spirited, by all means but I for one would not have a video speaking on Ham(the greatest Amer. Statesman)...
@jjfcooper ...without mentioning Hume, sir James Steuart, Jaques Neckar, john Law, Walpole, or for that matter, the particular situation the new nation found itself in with its terrible public credit, and the reasons Ham. gave to reverse "terrible" into the word "strong". By all means though, be free spirited in reflection. a man or woman "thinking"(reflection) will never feel animosity from me.
You should mention only half of Glass Steagall was dismantled not the entire thing.
