A Nation of Counterfeiters: Capitalists, Con Men, and the Making of the United States
Stephen Mihm
Prior to the Civil War, the U. S. did not have a single, national currency. Counterfeiters flourished amid this anarchy, putting vast quantities of bogus bills into circulation. Their success, Mihm reveals, is the story of the rise of a country defined by freewheeling capitalism and little government control.
