Omschrijving
John Adams and the Fear of American Oligarchy is a most timely, valuable, and enlightening book. It shows conclusively that Adams was one of the sharpest critics of oligarchy among the American founders and, indeed, in the history of political thought. The book will generate much-needed discussion in political thought, American political studies, and contemporary democratic theory.
—John McCormick, University of Chicago

Remarkably well-written and astonishingly lucid, John Adams and the Fear of American Oligarchy makes an absolutely central point about Adams’s thought, persuasively reestablishing him as a genuine democrat in his ultimate sympathies.
—Sanford Levinson, University of Texas Law School
A needed examination of Adams’s political thought on wealth-based aristocracy.
