I agree with both posters above me to an extent. I'd partially vindicate the traditional historiography here, though, by observing that Hamilton does make a lot of sense as a progenitor of the "muh business, muh investments" style in American rightism, as indeed John Adams does of the "muh national security" style. I don't think it's coincidental that these are the two right-wing styles that upper-middle-class Northeastern/Midwestern WASP Yankee types are still amenable to being swayed by even as they tend nowadays to be left-leaning on issues of moral or religious concern.
