An economic interpretation of the Constitution of the United States : With new introd

"Beard's interpretation proposes that the Framers of the Federal Constitution were motivated primarily by economic concerns. This argument was widely held until the late 1950s, when it was gradually undermined by later research, much of it stimulated by Beard's work. Although most scholars today see the origins of the revolution in terms of the history of ideas, especially republicanism, Beard's work remains fundamental and has insured a continued focus on the economic aspect of the nation's establishment, as well as a wider awareness of the role of economic interests in history"--P. [4] of cover.

  • "Published in 1913, this immensely influential and controversial history reinterpreted the motivations and actions of the members of the 1787 Constitutional Convention, suggesting that the importance of economic self-interest of the Founding Fathers outweighed abstract notions of philosophy in the shaping of the Constitution."
  • "Examines the financial interests of the constitution."
  • "This volume was first issued in 1913 during the tumult of dicscussion that accompanied the advent of the Progressive party, the split in Republican ranks and the conflict over the popular election of United States Senators, workmen's compensation and other social legislation."

  • "This famous study ? one of the most influential in the area of American economic history ? brought a halt to Americans' uncritical reverence for their country's revolutionary past. Questioning the Founding Fathers' motivations in drafting the Constitution, it viewed the results as a product of economic self-interest. Perhaps the most controversial books of its time."
  • "First published in 1913, Beard's 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."@en
