[laughter] there's not necessarily warm friendly relationship between the pure contains and them. but this is where we get back to native american history and where they become key. because the american -- were fearful at raising money, using the evangelist of native people as their goal. and so sending off missionary to england to britain under -- and raising money under the claim they were evangelizing native people. the first building at harvard is the indian college. that's where the donations are coming from. >> host: and this, then, goes back to what allowed the expansion -- >> guest: right. >> host: of the -- and therefore the expansion. >> guest: it facilities the expansion of the alcohol any. it facilities economic e

but by 1840 in new england, one in three in new england's labor force was working in a factory and that was a harbinger of widespread change throughout the 19th and 20th centuries but if hamilton won in that respect he lost in other ways. in the very last letter that hamilton wrote a couple days before the duel in 1804, he writes our real disease is democracy. and he calls democracy in that letter a poison. that was what jefferson was trying to boost as he made clear in his inaugural address. poignantly near the end, hamilton, who realized that his day had perhaps come and gone, wrote every day prove to me more and more than this america world was not made for me. jefferson's world was changing too. he had wanted, he had favored an arcadian america in which most people lived on farms, and he envisaged that lasting for generations as the country expanded all the way to the pacific coast which would take centuries perhaps to accomplish, but jefferson who lived until 1826 saw those smokestacks, those factories in new england and new that his world was vanishing. unlike hamilton, jefferson

this is the problem that the bank of england might have face. issue that iser much more pressing for the euro area. the assumption of debt is prohibited by other countries. the ecb is saying all of the thek debt in order to stop greek crisis essentially would the shifted the cost of greek government to the other governments. it is not as clear-cut. >> buying bonds by the size of the country would have not stopped the crisis. this is where -- >> [indiscernible] not have stopped the crisis. you would have run out of german debt. we have to look at the differences in the operating procedures so the ecb could becausets balance sheet of the much broader collateral bases. these are technical issues we do not need to get to. this is not a matter of not easing monetary policy enough. andd the ecb pick a country say we're going to focus all of our firepower in saving this country without having a prior agreement of the other governments that they were willing to let the ecb actually impose the costs? the not think the ecb had legal or political ability t

this is a place where the combined bank of england, u.k. government, including while i was there, gets a very poor grade. we ended up with four big banks running the entire financial system in the u.k. it's been very problematic. now, whatever you said about your own area, that is the most extreme. >> so i'll comment on what adam just mentioned. if you have a weak bank, it's only natural to ask if a stronger bank would take it over. unfortunately, it's true. in form of dwrads grades, i would have a hard time choosing tweenl a d and an s. this, again, goes back to a dysfunction in the euro area. it's a very different situation where you may have one banking lobby to gain advantage. they have been in disaster because the governments have collectively allowed these things to happen. going n going forward, we have larger banks and what they're fwg asked to do. impossible things, really. frankly, i don't think we have the vision of how the euro is going to get out of this mess. >> i think that the on going to leveraging of the banking system in
