Crucible of American Democracy by Andres Shankman is subtitled The Struggle to Fuse Egalitarianism and Capitalism in Jeffersonian Pennsylvania. Arguments over what democracy meant in practice and how it should be implemented raged throughout the early American republic. This book shows how intensely these ideas were contested and represented in the national debate where Jeffersonians dominated. Jeffersonians were the first to attempt to translate idealized speculations about democracy into a workable system of politics and governance. The authors exploration of the experience reveals how democracy rose in America and came to accommodate capitalism. It is a work of political history and demonstrates the aspirations, fear, dreams, and capacity of those who tried to translate a blueprint for democracy.
