Hamilton vs Jefferson: The Economic War That Still Controls America #AmericanHistory

America’s economy didn’t evolve naturally—it was designed through conflict.
In the 1790s, Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson clashed over the future of the United States:
national debt, central banking, federal power, and economic control.
Hamilton believed debt and a national bank would stabilize the nation and build global power.
Jefferson warned that banks and financiers would concentrate wealth and corrupt democracy.
Hamilton won the system.
Jefferson warned about the consequences.
