The Banker Who Made America by Richard Vague on American Revolution Podcast

This episode is sponsored by the book The Banker Who Made America by Richard Vague. The banker in question is Thomas Willing. When Robert Morris was getting his start in Philadelphia, he went to work for Thomas Willing. Willing was the guy who taught Morris, and later Alexander Hamilton, all about the world of banking and commerce. This book is by Richard Veig, who was Pennsylvania's security secretary a few years ago. In his book, he follows the money and helps us to understand how Willing stayed in the background while guiding the birth of America's banking and financial systems. Richard Vague sheds genuinely new light on the genesis of the American Republic, as well as the enduring economic and political conflicts that still shape U.S. society today.
