Hi everybody, very glad to welcome Brian McClanahan back to the show today. Brian has a book

coming out in the relatively near future called How Alexander Hamilton screwed up America.

In U.S. history from the University of South Carolina. Brian, welcome back to the show.

and then the second half we'll talk about when it comes out.

The second half is where we see more of the, what we might say say the Hamilton legacy as it goes through the 19th

and into the 20th centuries, we'll see how Hamilton's thought is reflected in major court decisions
