What sparked the American Revolution? Economics may hold the key. Economic hardships, not just ideological differences, may have played a pivotal role in America’s fight for independence. In a new article published in the Journal of the American Revolution, CMU economics faculty member Dr. Robert E. Wright uncovers how British policies and resulting bankruptcies fueled colonial unrest. His piece, "Cruel Bedlam: Bankruptcies and the Break with Britain," reexamines the economic catalysts behind the American Revolution, challenging traditional narratives. This thought-provoking research underscores the power of economics in shaping history—a perspective we continue to explore at the College of Business Administration.
