harmony 's review for:
The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism
by Edward E. Baptist
Baptist dives deep into very specific details about the history of slavery in the US as well as the way slavery drove the economic engine, not just in the South, but in the entire country. He also explains how slavery shaped the politics of the nation, and hints at the beginnings of policies and attitudes that persist into contemporary US America. This was a really interesting book, even if the topic made it a bit dry. Well worth reading.
