The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism by Edward E. Baptist

5.0

I thought this book was incredible in scope, organization, and craft. I definitely had a hard time paying attention to the text during the interludes about politics, but the author continued to call me back with the very human interludes.

I learned a lot from this book, although I think it merits a re-read in a physical copy/would be a great text for a college class, because it's difficult to get all of it from a casual listen.
