About this book
Beard, then a professor of politics at Columbia University, brought out this study in 1913 and called it fragmentary. He meant it to turn historians from purely political history toward the economic forces behind great events, and he drew on Treasury Department records used for the first time in such a study. After surveying the economic interests of 1787, the chapters follow the movement for the Constitution, the holdings and interests of the convention's members, the process of ratification and the popular vote.
