The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism
by Edward E. Baptist
This is an incredibly powerful and challenging book. The author details how exactly slavery was used to build up the incredible wealth and prosperity of our nation--and much of the rest of the world--on the backs and with the hands of enslaved African Americans. This should be required reading to truly understand the depth, breadth, and impact of slavery on every facet of contemporary life.
