Description
O livro que inspirou o badalado musical da Broadway sobre o personagem que estabeleceu os fundamentos da economia americana Inspiração para o musical de sucesso da Broadway, Alexander Hamilton é a primeira biografia completa de Hamilton em décadas. Autor premiado, Ron Chernow conta a cativante história de um homem que superou inúmeros obstáculos para moldar, inspirar e escandalizar os Estados Unidos recém-constituídos. Hamilton, um órfão ilegítimo e autodidata do Caribe, veio de origens humildes para tomar a América de assalto, se tornar um dos grandes colaboradores de George Washington e um dos principais arquitetos do sistema econômico e financeiro dos Estados Unidos, sendo o primeiro secretário do Tesouro do país. A obra mostra que a excelência e o sucesso da economia americana são resultado da perseverança desse personagem em emplacar suas ideias, como a criação de um banco central e o poder de tributação do Congresso sobre os estados. Chernow faz um relato fundamental sobre o nascimento dos Estados Unidos conduzido por uma de suas figuras centrais, não se isentando de tratar de suas polêmicas mais espinhosas, incluindo o protagonismo de Hamilton no primeiro grande escândalo sexual do país e sua suposta depressão.
