'“Provocative, fast-paced." 
     ―Zeke Faux, The New York Times

“Blistering...stocked with colorful, unflattering profiles...lucid and impressive...bracing and insightful."                                        
       ―Publishers Weekly

“A well-wrought tale of how the American empire came to be born on the balance sheet as much as by the gun.”
              ―Kirkus Reviews

“Drama-filled and insightful…Finely drawn characters bring The Hamilton Scheme to life and show the divisions in postwar economic philosophy that are still at play today." 
       ―BookPage

“A bold, creative narrative…brings lesser known but vital players into view.”
—Annette Gordon-Reed, Carl M. Loeb University Professor at Harvard University and author of On Juneteenth and The Hemingses of Monticello

“Reveals a knockdown, drag-out, and often violent class war that hid in plain sight over what kind of economy America should have…makes for as riveting a story as any hip-hop Broadway musical. And it's far more accurate to boot." 
  — Rick Perlstein, author of Nixonland and Reaganland

“It took a lot of forgetting to make [Hamilton] a hero of the people. We’re in William Hogeland’s debt for getting the story straight and for telling it so engagingly, as it needs to be told, from the top down and from the bottom up.” 
— David Waldstreicher, distinguished professor of history at the CUNY Graduate Center and author of Slavery’s Constitution and The Odyssey of Phillis Wheatley

“William Hogeland is the best guide I have found to understanding how we today are, for good and evil, children of Alexander.” 
— J. Bradford DeLong, professor of economics at the University of California, Berkeley, and author of Slouching Towards Utopia
