John Pinheiro on Alexander Hamilton’s and Thomas Jefferson's Conflicting Visions

Acton Line

In this episode, Dan Hugger speaks with John Pinheiro, director of research at the Acton Institute, about his latest contribution to Law & Liberty, “A Failure of Vision,” a review of legal theorist Robert C. Hockett’s A Republic of Producers. The wide-ranging conversation touches upon the American Republic’s early history, 20th-century interpretations of it, the sorts of lessons that history can teach us, those it cannot, and the trustworthiness of non-historians attempting to do history.
