"Slavery and American Economic Development is a small book with a
big interpretative punch. It is one of those rare books about a
familiar subject that manages to seem fresh and new."--Charles B.
Dew "Journal of Interdisciplinary History"
"A stunning reinterpretation of southern economic history and what
is perhaps the most important book in the field since Time on the
Cross. . . . I frequently found myself forced to rethink long-held
