Cronyism Is One of the Most Searing, Powerful and Authoritative Books I Have Ever Read

Professor Patrick Newman has written an exciting new book entitled Cronyism: Liberty versus Power in Early America, 1607-1849. Previously Dr. Newman was the exemplary editor of Murray N. Rothbard’s The Progressive Era, and Conceived in Liberty, Volume 5: The New Republic: 1784-1791.

Cronyism is the definitive work on political and economic corruption and cronyism in America from the colonial beginning to the end of the Jacksonian era. It is one of the most searing, powerful and authoritative books I have ever read. The rank and fetid politicization of the government has been present from the beginning. This incise volume will not leave you unscathed but will shake you to your core. It is the perfect compliment to Rothbard’s five volume Conceived in Liberty series, and Ivan Jankovic’s The American Counter-Revolution in Favor of Liberty: How Americans Resisted Modern State, 1765–1850.

I eagerly look foreword to successive future volumes tracing this corrupt reign of cronyism up the present Biden regime.
