Of course that’s your contention. You’re a first-year grad student. You just finished reading some Marxian historian, Pete Garrison prob’ly, and so naturally that’s what you believe until next month when you get to James Lemon and get convinced that Virginia and Pennsylvania were strongly entrepreneurial and capitalist back in seventeen forty. That’ll last until sometime in your second year, then you’ll be in here regurgitating Gordon Wood about the pre-revolutionary utopia and the capital–forming effects of military mobilization.
