Promethean Science Did Trump Just Revive Hamilton’s Economic Playbook?

eBook: What President Trump Can Do With The American System 2.0 China didn’t just outcompete America on critical minerals—it used predatory pricing to deliberately bankrupt U.S. operations like Mountain Pass. Meanwhile, Bank of England-led climate finance restrictions choked off credit to energy-intensive industries. The result? The U.S. now depends on adversaries for the minerals that run its economy and military.The Trump Administration is fighting back—and the playbook isn’t new. It’s the American System.DOD loans to MP Materials ($150M) and Vulcan Elements ($620M). A $10B Export-Import Bank loan for “Project Vault.” Price guarantees and allied coordination through FORGE. Equity stakes in MP Materials ($400M), Trilogy Metals (10%), and Lithium Americas (5%).These aren’t bailouts. They’re public credit tools—affordable loans, guaranteed price floors, and government equity stakes—designed to expand U.S. mining, processing, and manufacturing capacity. It’s the same approach Alexander Hamilton used to industrialize a fledgling nation and FDR used to mobilize the Arsenal of Democracy.Credit isn’t debt. It’s investment in future productivity. And it’s how America wins the minerals war.Contact • [email protected] X • https://x.com/Ben_Deniston00:00 Trump and Hamilton01:44 Tools for Minerals02:30 Loans Price Floors Equity05:38 China Predatory Pricing08:15 London Climate Credit11:00 American System Public Credit11:28 Hamilton to the RFC14:37 Wrap Up and Call SUPPORT PROMETHEAN SCIENCE!Keep our scientific deep-dives 100% independent by becoming a paid subscriber for just $10 a month.Your subscription supports every analysis revealing mankind as a unique creative force to be celebrated—no academic “trust the science” propaganda.If you value scientific truth that challenges the status quo and want to help us keep illuminating mankind’s creative potential in the universe, hit that subscribe button now and join us in championing human progress.
