Description: Further DetailsTitle: Slavery and American Economic DevelopmentCondition: NewEAN: 9780807152287ISBN: 9780807152287Publisher: Louisiana State University PressFormat: PaperbackRelease Date: 02/28/2013Description: Through an analysis of slavery as an economic institution, Gavin Wright presents an innovative look at the economic divergence between North and South in the antebellum era. He draws a distinction between slavery as a form of work organisation, the aspect that has dominated historical debates, and slavery as a set of property rights. Slave-based commerce remained central to the eighteenth-century rise of the Atlantic economy, not because slave plantations were superior as a method of organizing production, but because slaves could be put to work on sugar plantations that could not have attracted free labor on economically viable terms.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 140mmItem Weight: 333gAuthor: Gavin WrightGenre: HistoryBook Series: Walter Lynwood Fleming Lectures in Southern HistoryTopic: Business & Finance, Society & Culture, Social SciencesRelease Year: 2013 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
