Acerca de esta escucha

During the first quarter-century after its founding, the United States was swept by a wave of land speculation so unprecedented in intensity and scale that contemporaries and historians alike have dubbed it a “mania.” In Speculation Nation, Michael A. Blaakman uncovers the revolutionary origins of this real-estate bonanza—a story of ambition, corruption, capitalism, and statecraft that stretched across millions of acres from Maine to the Mississippi and Georgia to the Great Lakes.

Patriot leaders staked the success of their revolution on the seizure and public sale of Native American territory. Initially, they hoped to extend a republican society of propertied citizens by selling expropriated land directly to white farmers. But those democratic plans quickly ran aground from a series of obstacles, including an economic depression and the ability of many Native nations to repel U.S. invasion.

U.S. speculators and statesmen had spawned a distinctive and enduring form of settler colonialism: a financialized frontier, which transformed vast swaths of contested land into abstract commodities. Speculation Nation reveals how the era of land mania made Native dispossession a founding premise of the American republic and ultimately rooted the United States’ “empire of liberty” in speculative capitalism.

The book is published by University of Pennsylvania Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.

"Highly recommended for its deep research, clear prose, and ambitious interpretive reach." (Seth Rockman, author of Scraping By)

"An illuminating survey of an important and understudied aspect of the Revolutionary era." (Publishers Weekly)
