Description: An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of The United States by Charles A. Beard Synopsis coming soon....... FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description First published in 1913, Beards iconoclastic masterwork sparked a deep historical debate that has not abated. Scrutinizing the Constitution in light of economic forces, he proposed for the first time that this politico-legal document was shaped by a group of men whose commercial interests were best served by its provisions. One hundred years later, An Economic Interpretation continues to stand the test of time, raising important questions about commercial and political power and generating radical new insights into our laws and our economy. Author Biography Charles A. Beard (1874-1948) is considered one of the most influential American historians in the first half of the twentieth century. Some of his works include Economic Origins of Jeffersonian Democracy, and The Administration and Politics of Tokyo. Review "Here again is the original constitutional skeptic to remind Americans that our republics authors had not only intellects but interests. Charles Beard set out to jolt his contemporaries out of their pious admiration of the constitutions framers. His economic interpretation remains a lively, surprisingly humorous and sharp-witted analysis of the nations beginnings. Reading it today, the book aims a keen and pointed thrust at the originalism of our own age." -- Professor Eric Rauchway, University of California Davis Department of History"One hundred years after it first appeared, Charles Beards An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution still commands our attention as a classic of historical scholarship -- not because every view Beard put forward has stood the test of time but because the questions he raised about the intersections of economic and political power are just as relevant today as when he wrote." -- Professor Eric Foner, Columbia University Department of History"This is the book that started us all on the journey to understanding the complex motives and conflicting interests that shaped our constitution. 100 years after its publication, it still has the power to excite and exasperate, to stir fierce debate and to inspire new interpretations." -- Carol Berkin, Presidential Professor of History, Emerita, Baruch College & The Graduate Center, CUNY Review Quote "This is the book that started us all on the journey to understanding the complex motives and conflicting interests that shaped our constitution. 100 years after its publication, it still has the power to excite and exasperate, to stir fierce debate and to inspire new interpretations."
