Ways and Means

Kaleo Griffith’s performance shines in 'Ways and Means,' delivering complex economic jargon with a smooth, almost conversational tone that keeps listeners hooked. The story of how the Union managed to fund its war efforts against overwhelming odds is nothing short of thrilling. Pacing is well-balanced, offering both detailed financial insights and compelling anecdotes about key figures like Salmon P. Chase. However, some sections on tax policies could benefit from clearer explanations, occasionally making them a bit dense. Nonetheless, this audiobook’s unique blend of military history and economic strategy makes it an essential listen for anyone interested in America's pivotal period.
