Through an original analysis of slavery as an economic institution, Gavin Wright presents a fresh look a the economic divergence between North and South in the antebellum era.

This book is extremely important in terms of the information presented and is a great companion to reading Fogel's Time on the Cross, but it is exceptionally dry and not an area I'm particularly interested in, so it was a struggle to finish. I put myself through this read for a graduate history course. ( )
