One Nation Under Debt
Robert E. Wright
"One Nation Under Debt"

On September 4, 2008, Robert E. Wright delivered this lecture on his book, Virginia: Catalyst of Commerce for Four Centuries.The United States was born in debt. Was this obligation a vital tool for forging national unity, or a monstrous burden? In One Nation Under Debt: Hamilton, Jefferson, and the History of What We Owe, Robert E. Wright follows our nation's debt from the founding to the credit crisis of today. A compelling and witty storyteller, Wright shows how the past can illuminate current financial woes. Dr. Wright teaches history at New York University's Stern School of Business. This lecture was a program of the VHS's Reynolds Business History Center.
