The Economics of Industrial Slavery In the Old South

Author

Listed:
  • Starobin, Robert S.

Abstract

The economics of slavery in the United States has long been a subject of great interest to historians, but the use of bondsmen in southern industries has been little studied. Professor Starobin not only provides new information on industrial slavery, but also offers important conclusions concerning the profitability, efficiency, and viability of this “peculiar institution.”
