Here’s the first and so far the only review of Founding Finance . It’s in Jacobin, written by Tom Cutterham, and while the mag is a lefty journal for general readers, not an academic one (happily), I’ll just say that this is the only time my efforts have been taken this seriously in a fully-informed academic context. In fact, fair warning: the review is way headier than my book!

Just reviewed “Founding Finance” at Amazon with a link to the Jacobin review.
Four stars, of course.
Thanks!
Amazon cut the link to Jacobin but left the quote I selected.
Plus, my sentence structure looks like a robot wrote it.
But the four well deserved stars are there.
Correction: But the FIVE well deserved stars are there.
There’s a new blog called Junto* with a post entitled Sympathy for the Founders by Tom Cutterman. The first sentence is:
“One day soon, someone will write the history of the bankers, fund managers, lawyers and accountants who helped make our present financial crisis.”
Made me think of you.
I haven’t had a chance to read Founding Finance yet, but probably will over the holidays.
*Junto is a blog by “junior early Americanists—graduate students and junior faculty.”
You may be interested to know that a new site on early American History, The Junto, discusses your new book. Here’s the link: http://earlyamericanists.com/2012/12/13/herman-husband-and-failures-of-the-historical-imagination/#more-850
