Does the modern American government/economy remind you of what Thomas Jefferson wanted for the country or what Alexander Hamilton wanted for the country?

The modern day American economy was focused on gain in wealth and industry just like Alexander Hamilton. Thomas Jefferson wanted bit of a different go with a more of a agriculturer growth that could lead to success. Overall, yes, the modern American economy could bring you to the thought of former founding father(s) Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson.

Answer:

“Hamilton had the foresight to see the United States emerging as an economic and military power that would surpass Great Britain and the other European powers. All of Hamilton’s policies as treasury secretary and as President Washington’s closest advisor were designed to convince his fellow Americans to, as Hamilton put it, ‘think continentally.’ He wanted the citizenry to think of themselves first and foremost as Americans—not New Yorkers or Virginians
