Jacksonian Democracy and the "Common Man"
Jacksonian politics of the first half of the nineteenth century became a battle for the common man.

"Economists began to study voters as rational maximizers, politicians as entrepreneurs, and bureaucrats as suppliers in a market-like process of consumption, production and exchange.
