Author: Andrew David Edwards, Princeton Public Library

Historian Andrew David Edwards presents his new book, "Money and the Making of the American Revolution." Registration requested, but not required.

American money and American democracy have always been in tension, pitting political equality against economic inequality. In "Money and the Making of the American Revolution," Andrew David Edwards shows how this struggle emerged in America’s founding era. Everyone knows that the founders waged a revolt against taxation without representation. Edwards shows that the dispute over taxes was really a dispute over money: what it was, who could make it, and how to keep it from being used at the expense of the colonists in North America. The colonial rebels refocused their resistance on democratic, local control—defending the power they had used to make money for themselves.

As Don Quixote embarks on his impossible quest for justice, Lookingglass Theatre’s signature acrobatics, breathtaking visuals, and boundless imagination transport audiences into his wild, windmill-tilting world.
