He takes Hamilton's idealogy entirely out of context. For example, Hamilton certainly did not approve of protectionist policies, in fact encouraged laissez-faire....with Britian, drawing the ire of Jefferson's anti-federalists who wished only trade with revolutionary France, a nation certainly ended up not near as democratic as Britian after the rise of Napoleon. Also, it's ironic that Jefferson fans approve of his reading of the constitution, with a strict interpretation of the document. However, they convientlyforget the fact that Jefferson wished to create a new constitution every 19 years! I believe DiLorenzo's wrong here . He takes Hamilton's idealogy entirely out of context.
