Moreover, as in Europe today, when Alexander Hamilton proposed a central banking system, the Bank of the United States, alongside consolidation of states’ Revolutionary War debt into federal debt, the implementation of his sensible plan was imperfect. In the American case, the principles of federal finance were not worked out until the Civil War, and the Federal Reserve System was established even later, coming only in 1913.
此外，像现在的欧洲一样，当年亚历山大·汉密尔顿（Alexander Hamilton）提出了一个中央银行系统，即所谓美利坚合众国银行，同时把各州的独立战争债务并入到到联邦债务之中，这个合理的计划却并未得到完美的执行。在美国这个例子里，联邦金融的相关准则在南北战争之前还没有被制定出来，而美联储系统则出现得更晚，直到1913年才创建。
