The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism
by Edward E. Baptist
This is a thought-provoking tour of the institution of slavery's spread across the United States, its entanglement with American capitalism, and its final demise. Dr. Baptist makes a compelling argument that much of early America's wealth was built on the back of its slaves and dispels many of the myths that have grown up around slavery.
