this book is written by a Marxist who doesn’t understand basic economics or history. what a tragedy this book is to one of the great founding fathers. I drew the line and shut the book off when he said “raising taxes won’t be passed to the consumer and raise price, merchants just did it out of greed.” here’s a bold idea, read the constitution and tell me if those men fought and died in a war based on personal freedom, for all or for greed? if Hancock was so greedy then why did he go broke spending his last dollar to fight for his country and countrymen? woke academia is dangerous and books like this are the result. God bless our country’s history from sick people like this author
