An incisive account of the tumultuous relationship between Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, and of the origins of our wealthy yet highly unequal nation In the history of American politics there are few stories as famous as that of Alexander Hamilton and James Madison's bitterly personal falling out. Together they helped bring the Constitution into being, yet soon after the new republic was born they broke over the meaning of its founding document. Hamilton emphasized economic growth, Madison the importance of republican principles.

The Price of Greatness reveals the tradeoff that made the United States the richest nation in human history, and that continues to fracture our politics to this day.
