Here’s the interview I gave David Johnson for Boston Review. I like BR’s title: “How Big Finance Won the American Revolution.” [UPDATE:] There’s now an exchange in the comment section that gets into my grim view of the first ten amendments, with reference to some other posts on this blog.]

Great interview, Bill. My only criticism is you tiptoed around the term “class warfare.” Maybe those words will come up in a future interview. You did readers a great service by stressing the statements Randolph made on the very first day of the convention, Also, while aware of your criticisms of Wood, Brown, and others, I did not know that Hofstadter also came under your fire. I have read many of his books but that occurred decades ago. I am interested to know your criticism of him.
