The book explores the relationship between the evolving status of tradesmen in early New York and the development of subjective rights during America's transition to a republican and liberal society in the eighteenth century. It examines how these changes in economic roles and rights reflect broader societal shifts, highlighting the interplay between commerce and individual liberties in shaping the new American identity.
