A review of a collection of essays about the economics of American slavery.
Abstract: --
Excerpt:
Slaverys Capitalism: A New History of American Economic Development Sven Beckert and Seth Rockman, editors Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2016, 402 pages, $27.50 paperback.
Slavery's Capitalism does not live up to its subtitle, A New History of American Economic Development. Rather, this is a collection of loosely-related chapters by a dozen scholars to the findings of its co-editor, Sven Beckert, in his 2014 masterwork, Empire of Cotton: A Global History....
Slaverys Capitalism explores the economics of American slavery, although like Empire of Cotton it doesnt fully account for the effects of slavery on the South. It includes chapters on accounting, mechanization, credit and law.
