Episode Details

In 1794, John Taylor of Caroline launched a direct assault on Alexander Hamilton’s entire financial regime – the national bank, the debt, the funding system, the whole machine. He called it a “political papacy,” a new aristocracy built on paper money, perpetual debt, and lawless power. On this episode, learn about Taylor’s forgotten takedown of the system that laid the foundation for the largest government in history.
