A fine study by a first-rate historian, well-written, thoughtful, and interesting throughout. -- Journal of the Early Republic
A long-needed addition to the literature on Jacksonian Era politics. -- Southern Historian
Clearly written and deals with an important topic that has surprisingly escaped book-length treatment until now. -- American Historical Review
Now we have a thoroughly researched, carefully crafted study of Clay's major contribution to national policy. Maurice G. Baxter, professor emeritus at Indiana University, has written a comprehensive study of Clay's system, 'a biographical perspective upon economic history.' -- Journal of American History
It is refreshing to read a history that grounds Jacksonian debate over political economy in realities and prospects as Clay and his contemporaries understood them. -- Journal of Southern History
A balanced, objective and highly readable account of one of the most interesting, important and controversial subjects of the early nineteenth century. -- Robert V. Remini
