“There were two traditions in the United States in 1832: the Jeffersonian and the Hamiltonian. In the election of 1832, the two traditions clashed self-consciously. Until Lincoln’s inauguration in 1861, the Jeffersonian tradition was dominant in the United States. After that, only Grover Cleveland was self-consciously Jeffersonian. This serves as background to the little-known story of the man whose ideas led to the Federal Reserve System, an immigrant named Paul Warburg. He was from a distinguished banking family in Germany. He married the daughter of the founder of Kuhn-Loeb, and he became a major figure in that investment bank, beginning in 1902.”
