HAMILTON'S CURSE(ISBN=9780307382856) 英文原版 在线下载 pdf mobi 2025 epub 电子版

　　Two of the most influential figures in American history. Two

opposing political philosophies. Two radically different visions

for America.

Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton were without question two

of the most important Founding Fathers. They were also the fiercest

of rivals. Of these two political titans, it is Jefferson—–the

revered author of the Declaration of Independence and our third

president—–who is better remembered today. But in fact it is

Hamilton’s political legacy that has triumphed—–a legacy that has

subverted the Constitution and transformed the federal government

into the very leviathan state that our forefathers fought against

in the American Revolution.

How did we go from the Jeffersonian ideal of limited government

to the bloated imperialist system of Hamilton’s design? Acclaimed

economic historian Thomas J. DiLorenzo provides the troubling

answer in Hamilton’s Curse.

DiLorenzo reveals how Hamilton, first as a delegate to the

Constitutional Convention and later as the nation’s first and most

influential treasury secretary, masterfully promoted an agenda of

nationalist glory and interventionist economics—–core beliefs that

did not die with Hamilton in his fatal duel with Aaron Burr.

Carried on through his political heirs, the Hamiltonian

legacy:

·Wrested control into the hands of the federal government by

inventing the myth of the Constitution’s “implied powers”

·Established the imperial presidency (Hamilton himself proposed a

permanent president—–in other words, a king)

·Devised a national banking system that imposes boom-and-bust

cycles on the American economy

·Saddled Americans with a massive national debt and oppressive

taxation

·Inflated the role of the federal courts in order to eviscerate

individual liberties and state sovereignty

·Pushed economic policies that lined the pockets of the wealthy

and created a government system built on graft, spoils, and

patronage

·Transformed state governments from Jeffersonian bulwarks of

liberty to beggars for federal crumbs

By debunking the Hamiltonian myths perpetuated in recent admiring

biographies, DiLorenzo exposes an uncomfortable truth: The American

people are no longer the masters of their government but its

servants. Only by restoring a system based on Jeffersonian ideals

can Hamilton’s curse be lifted, at last.

书籍介绍

Two of the most influential figures in American history. Two opposing political philosophies. Two radically different visions for America.

Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton were without question two of the most important Founding Fathers. They were also the fiercest of rivals. Of these two political titans, it is Jefferson—–the revered author of the Declaration of Independence and our third president—–who is better remembered today. But in fact it is Hamilton’s political legacy that has triumphed—–a legacy that has subverted the Constitution and transformed the federal government into the very leviathan state that our forefathers fought against in the American Revolution.

How did we go from the Jeffersonian ideal of limited government to the bloated imperialist system of Hamilton’s design? Acclaimed economic historian Thomas J. DiLorenzo provides the troubling answer in Hamilton’s Curse .

DiLorenzo reveals how Hamilton, first as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention and later as the nation’s first and most influential treasury secretary, masterfully promoted an agenda of nationalist glory and interventionist economics—–core beliefs that did not die with Hamilton in his fatal duel with Aaron Burr. Carried on through his political heirs, the Hamiltonian legacy:

• Wrested control into the hands of the federal government by inventing the myth of the Constitution’s “implied powers”

• Established the imperial presidency (Hamilton himself proposed a permanent president—–in other words, a king)

• Devised a national banking system that imposes boom-and-bust cycles on the American economy

• Saddled Americans with a massive national debt and oppressive taxation

• Inflated the role of the federal courts in order to eviscerate individual liberties and state sovereignty

• Pushed economic policies that lined the pockets of the wealthy and created a government system built on graft, spoils, and patronage

• Transformed state governments from Jeffersonian bulwarks of liberty to beggars for federal crumbs

By debunking the Hamiltonian myths perpetuated in recent admiring biographies, DiLorenzo exposes an uncomfortable truth: The American people are no longer the masters of their government but its servants. Only by restoring a system based on Jeffersonian ideals can Hamilton’s curse be lifted, at last.

• 模糊的人物、暧昧的情愫、浮光掠影的山林江水

  作者：今天也要开心鸭 发布时间：2021-03-31 23:12:41

  暗香浮动，月光朦胧，在月光下做的事都应该被原谅，因为，它们是这样的敏感这样的纯洁这样的诚恳，这样不计后果地尝试超升。

  好美的一本书。在看的过程中，很多部分被圈起来，很多部分被读出来，极其华美，无论是视觉上还是听觉上，都让我欲罢不能。后来觉得要写点什么的时候，独独想起了这句。李渝的文字——“文学无他，就是文字”中的文字——“这样的敏感这样的纯洁这样的诚恳”，看完怅然若失，想不到是“这样不计后果”。

  李渝的描写是“不计后果”的。

  写小院一隅花木是“米白色的栀子、桃红色艳红色和紫红色的杜鹃、火红色的合欢、湖绿色的棕榈、灰绿色的相思、碧绿的美人蕉、翠绿的羊齿、墨绿的葛藤，金色的夕阳一片镏镀，千百种颜色交融汇织，展开壁画的景势”；

  写府内的美食是“一个个通体雪白，皮层轻得像羽绒，薄得似粉笺，从外到内没一层纠葛，……而那玫瑰馅，可是用整粒的核桃，过滤得比绸子还滑溜的山楂和金枣泥，和在青梅水中浸过的新鲜玫瑰花瓣调制的，……”

  还有那“高高低低叠叠重重的绿色接续绿色和绿色的树林”、那关于爱情的定义和咏唱（52页始）……一系列游离于故事之外的内容，李渝不厌其烦地着墨，极尽华彩，偶尔会留置一个榫，与小说后面的卯进行接合。

  而故事以及里面的人物，则像是被这些层层叠叠的文字所遮掩了起来。长安里的绿植愈是蓊郁，马将军的面目愈是模糊，书中的第一部分马将军的出场不可谓不多，但总像是余晖照耀下的身影，空见其人，不知其里。而其儿子与二妻子的私奔，则更是在这样的手法下更显暧昧。

  可是到了后半部分，当三个部分开始结合，模糊的人物、暧昧的情愫、浮光掠影的山林江水，一切如此匆忙，宿命的轮回迅速交代，可是故意留白的故事情节——“你必须自己找出它的内容，它的情节、细节、观点、上下脉络、经纬组合、起承转合，以便连续成对你具有意义的本事”——更像是被中途挡住的弧光，作者似乎已经写爽了，故事仓促收场，一切戛然而止。

  从她的视野可以望及的方向，很遥远又很邻近的那座树林也被风吹开了，林木的华盖，从过去到现在到未来，有一片晶莹的光电等待着她的醒来，不呈传说中的金黄，而是一种暖暖内含精彩的灰颜色，好像是月晕的凝聚还是繁星的窜聚。是的，它们在林顶穿梭飞跃，在枝叶间搓梭出飕飕的声响，然后如同一簇流星，一片月光，一截载负着月光的河水，以目眩的速度飞掠过林端，完成任务，消失在视觉的底线。

  伴随着金丝猿的闪现与消失，故事也来到了结尾，一切前文提到过的绿植、景况、人与事，按着布置一一闪回。依然是“这样的敏感这样的纯洁这样的诚恳”，我想这是作者重新修订过的版本，她想表达的如流星如月光如载负着月光的河水，都已经在凝聚与窜聚中编造完成，如果过分算计后果，反而无法达到现在流光溢彩般的文字效果。
