Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the political and economic debates surrounding the 1840s proposal for a loan to fund government expenses, arguing that the decision to borrow money rather than raise taxes or issue Treasury notes was a turning point in American fiscal policy. The author places the debate within the broader context of the political and economic struggles of the time, including the ongoing debate over tariffs and the impact of the Panic of 1837. The book delves into the arguments of both proponents and opponents of the loan, exploring their concerns about the national debt, the impact on trade and commerce, and the role of government in the economy. Ultimately, the author argues that the decision to borrow money was a significant step towards a more centralized and interventionist federal government, and had lasting implications for the country's fiscal and economic policies.
