review: Editorial Reviews Review This collection would serve as excellent outside reading for courses in American political theory or for those that focus on the founding period. ( American Political Science Review ) This work is an important contribution to its field. . . . Contributes mightily to a rethinking of the foundations of politics. Students of politics have fully attended to fear and greed as low motives in human life; this work points the way toward a more adequate treatment of the specifically political motive of lofty ambition. (Flaumenhaft, Harvey) About the Author Peter McNamara is associate professor of political science at Utah State University, is the author of Political Economy and Statesmanship: Adam Smith and Alexander Hamilton on the Foundation of the Commercial Republic , as well as numerous articles.
