The Elusive Republic: Political Economy in Jeffersonian America (Published by the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture and the University of North Carolina Press);

By investigating eighteenth-century social and economic thought--an intellectual world with its own vocabulary, concepts, and assumptions--Drew McCoy smoothly integrates the history of ideas and the history of public policy in the Jeffersonian era. The book was originally published by UNC Press in 1980.
