An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States
Book • 1913
In this seminal work, Charles A. Beard presents a provocative interpretation of the U.S.
Constitution, suggesting that its structure was primarily motivated by the personal financial interests of the Founding Fathers.
Beard examines the economic backgrounds of the Constitutional Convention members, arguing that they crafted the document to protect their property and economic standing.
The book has been both praised and criticized for its economic determinism and its challenge to traditional views of American history.
