335 The Jewish World of Alexander Hamilton

Published: Aug. 2, 2022, 5 a.m.

Alexander Hamilton played important roles in the founding of the United States. He served in the Continental Army, helped frame the United States Constitution, and helped place the United States on a secure economic footing with his work as the first Secretary of the Treasury.

But how did Hamilton come to know so much about the economic systems that could help the new United States build a strong economic footing?

Why did Hamilton work for and believe that the new United States should be a nation that welcomed all religions and forms of religious worship?

Andrew Porwacher, the Wick Cary Associate Professor of History at the University of Oklahoma and the Ernest May Fellow at Harvard University\u2019s Belfer Center, joins us to investigate the Jewish world and upbringing of Alexander Hamilton.
