Williams traces the rise and fall of the Atlantic slave trade through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to show how it laid the foundations of the Industrial Revolution, and how racism arose as a means of rationalising an immoral economic programme. Most significantly, he showed how slavery was only abolished when it ceased to become financially viable, exploding the myth of emancipation as a mark of Britain's moral progress.'Its thesis is a starting point for a new generation of scholarship' New Yorker Details ISBN 0241548160 ISBN-13 9780241548165 Title Capitalism and Slavery Author Eric Williams Format Paperback Year 2022 Pages 304 Publisher Penguin Books Ltd GEItemID:134843675; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
