"Founding Finance" with William Hogeland
b'
William Hogeland is one of my all-time favorite guests on PA Books. In "Founding Finance" he tells how America\'s early economic system was established. It\'s a lot more interesting than it sounds.
\\n\\t\\t\\tHogeland writes about the little-remembered election of May 1776 in which Pennsylvanians elected a General Assembly that was anti-independence and how, between then an July 4, mobs in Philadelphia overthrew the elected government and installed a pro-independence assembly. Without that coup, Pennsylvania might not have supported independence.
\\n\\t\\t\\tIt\'s a fascinating story.
\\n\\t\\t\\tHogeland has also appeared on PA Books for "The Whiskey Rebellion" and "Declaration," both fascinating books.
