One factor that gets overlooked in the rise of financialization; the aging of the population. The reality that some firms weren't going to make it and thus end private pensions for millions of workers led to looking for a different way to support them.

I have a question: What are your thoughts on Henry Clay?

I don’t really know enough about them. They have a particularly strong opinion.

Most of what I have read is through the lens of biographies that are generally favorable to Andrew Jackson, which I think is distorted my view of him

However, I did just get a copy of Robert Remini’s biography of Clay which I’m excited to read soon and I hope it will add to my opinion of him

Yeah. I’m in the same position. I need to learn more about Henry Clay.

I’m also torn, economically I’m more into the American School, though, I don’t like Hamilton, I prefer Adams. But politically, I side with the Anti-Federalists States’s Rights Localism.

The McKinley Tariff of 1890 was a disaster, cost the Republicans Congress in 1890 and the Presidency in 1892, and was repealed in 1894.
