Slavery's Capitalism

"Slavery's Capitalism" explores the profound influence of slavery on the emergence of American capitalism during the 19th century, challenging traditional views by emphasizing slavery's central role in driving economic innovations and development. Drawing on the work of leading scholars, the audiobook examines how the brutal system of human bondage was intertwined with key aspects of entrepreneurship, finance, and political economy that shaped the nation's growth. By framing slavery as a foundational component of American economic history, it invites reflection on the complex relationship between market freedom and human freedom.
