hamiltonianism  

Definition

  • Hamiltonianism describes the public philosophy associated with Alexander Hamilton (1755–1804), the first secretary of the U.S. Treasury. As President George Washington began to distance himself from other key advisers, such as James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, Hamilton came to play the role of “prime minister” to Washington.
