As a scholar and historian, Charles A. Beard transformed the teaching and study of American history by stressing the “whole man, ” including the relationship of economic interests, politics, and the public. This argument is reflected in a number of Beard’s other books as well, such as An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States.
