Radical Hamilton: Economic Lessons from a Misunderstood Founder by Christian Parenti VERSO 2020
In his new book/Radical Hamilton: Economic Lessons from a Misunderstood Founder/, Christian Parenti wants to resurrect Alexander Hamilton to fight climate catastrophe using the concentrated power of the capitalist state. Rather than a propagandistic folk hero in a manner of the Broadway hit, Parenti attempts to reframe Hamilton as an eco-warrior whose 1790s financial plan is a “greener means proper” (p. 237). Conscious of Hamilton’s role as the architect of US state capitalism, and ultimately, the global capitalist hegemon, Parenti’s judgement is clouded by a desperate search for state intervention to reverse climate catastrophe.
