Vida, Pasión y Muerte de Alexander Hamilton

Vida, pasión y muerte de Alexander Hamilton arises from the interest of its author in the disclosure of a key historical figure in the birth of the United States and little known in Spain and by readers in Spanish. Hamilton had a very important participation in two vital issues in the birth of the American nation: its political organization and its first economic journey as an independent country. As Secretary of the Treasury and confidant of President Washington, he faced and provided active solutions to problems that are highly topical today: the dilemma between centralism and federalism, and the use of Public Debt and the Federal Bank as instruments of economic policy. The title of the work also alludes to the short and intense personal life of Alexander Hamilton, interrupted by a tragic duel, very expressive of the conflict between reason and passion that occurs in the period of transition from the Enlightenment to Romanticism, on the threshold that begins the Contemporary Age.
