Centrale bank-ellende – How the Jacksonians Killed the Bank
De eerste Amerikaanse centrale bank werd in 1830 geliquideerd door de nieuw aangetreden president generaal Andrew Jackson.
General Andrew Jackson, fresh off the election of 1828, assumes the office of the presidency, armed with a battle plan to bring down the institutions he blames for the corruption of the republic: America’s National Bank.
In this episode of Liberty vs. Power, Dr. Patrick Newman and Tho Bishop look at the Jacksonians’ embrace of executive power and their battle against Nicholas Biddle of the Second Bank of the United States.
