Summary
How did America become the most prosperous nation in world history?
Alexander Hamilton believed the new nation could break from the old model of conquest and seizure by building wealth through capitalism, invention, enterprise, and trade.
In this episode, I explain Hamilton’s vision for American prosperity—and why the Founders’ economic genius made it possible to create more wealth without taking it from someone else.

| 0:28.0 | Paid for by AARP. For most of human history, wealth was presumed to be finite. Consider a boy in a playground with 10 marbles. How can he get more? There's only one possibility. He has to take someone else's |
| 0:55.1 | marbles. Until relatively recently, wealth was mostly in land, and the only way to get more land was to |
| 1:01.5 | take it. Conquest was the natural mode of human acquisition, and that's how most countries |

| 1:41.4 | treasurer of the United States, had the answer. Under his brilliant |
