Examines how Hamilton's thoughts and experiences about public
administration theory and practice have shaped the nation. American
public administration inherited from Alexander Hamilton a distinct
republican framework through which we derive many of our modern
governing standards and practices. His administrative theory flowed
from his republican vision, prescribing not only the how of
administration but also what should be done and why. Administration
and policy merged seamlessly in his mind, each conditioning the
other. His Anti-Federalist detractors clearly saw this and fought
his vision tooth and nail. That conflict endures to this day
because Americans still have not settled on just one vision of the
American republic. That is why, Richard Green argues, Hamilton is a
pivotal figure in our current reckoning. If we want to more fully
understand ourselves and our ways of governing today, we must start
by understanding Hamilton, and we cannot do that without exploring
his administrative theory and practice in depth. Alexander
Hamilton's Public Administration considers Hamilton both as a
founder of the American republic, steeped in the currents of
political philosophy and science of his day, and as its chief
administrative theorist and craftsman, deeply involved in
establishing the early institutions and policies that would bring
his interpretation of the written Constitution to life.
Accordingly, this book addresses the complex mix of classical and
modern ideas that informed his vision of a modern commercial and
administrative republic; the administrative ideas, institutions,
and practices that flowed from that vision; and the substantive
policies he deemed essential to its realization. Green's analysis
grows out of an immersion in Hamilton's extant papers, including
reports, letters, pamphlets, and essays. Readers will find a
comprehensive explanation of his theoretical contributions and a
richly detailed account of his ideas and practices in historical
context.
