Alexander Hamilton: The man who imagined America | LIVE EVENT

- On July 9, Lin-Manuel Miranda will step down from the title role in his fantastically successful hip-hop musical “Hamilton,” of which he is creator, lyricist, librettist, and star. Miranda was inspired to write about this essential architect of our nation by reading Ron Chernow’s 2004 biography of Alexander Hamilton.
We at AEI were fortunate when Chernow came to AEI in the fall of 2004, shortly after the book’s publication, to deliver a lecture titled “Alexander Hamilton: The Man Who Imagined America.” Chernow told the audience that it was fitting that he give this lecture at AEI because Hamilton was the “most enterprising of early Americans and, more than anyone else created the public and private institutions to spur American enterprise.” This sentiment is echoed by Miranda’s Hamilton: “Just like my country, I’m young, scrappy, and hungry, and I’m not throwing away my shot.”
The life of Alexander Hamilton was the most dramatic and improbable among the Founding Fathers, second only in importance to that of George Washington. In his lecture, Ron Chernow will narrate many of the dramatic moments that transformed this brilliant, orphaned, illegitimate young man from the Caribbean into the aide-de-camp to George Washington, the chief author of The Federalist Papers, and the first secretary of the U.S. Treasury. Chernow will also argue that Hamilton had the most prescient view of the ultimate shape of the American political system and of our economic and financial future.

I saw that Hamilton book by Ron Chernow on my dads shelf in his office and read it just because I heard about the show, and that was such a good book and Hamilton is so amazing to me. Like I am learning so much.
Amen, have been a Revolutionary War buff and saw Hamilton on B’way-Best play exponentially I’ve ever seen!
I’ve read book and those on other Founding Fathers and intend to read about James Monroe.
Dedicated to Aaron Burr, for without his cooperation, this project would have never been completed.
very good
Had to take notes on this . . .
A common ground when no services till even folds had grieves.
Can not hear the questions.
Hamilton's death is very karmic. In the end it was the law that allowed him to get shot.
dillmon1 It was his anger, and enemies that allowed him to get shot. You fucking clown. Burr was an unprincipled, and inept leader. And Hamilton never liked Jefferson anyway, because of his yoeman like, arrogant and house proud Virginia "arristocratic" persona. Jefferson never spent one fucking hour, in combat, during the Revolution.
Chris Hamilton Why so toxic? It was an observation. Let people have their views and say what they think about a situation rather than attacking him for having a different view on the situation.
East for a meet and firm after an alter from attendee whom found peace with the reo spd.
