ISBN: 9780231185240 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The United States has long epitomized capitalism. From its enterprising shopkeepers, wildcat banks, violent slave plantations, and raucous commodities trade to its world-spanning multinationals, its massive factories, and the centripetal power of New York in the world of finance, America has shaped political economy for two centuries and more. But an understanding of "capitalism" is as elusive as it is urgent. What does it mean to make capitalism a subject of historical inquiry? What is its potential across multiple disciplines, alongside different methodologies, and in a range of geographic...

Slavery's Capitalism: A New History of American Economic Development
ISBN: 9780812248418 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. During the nineteenth century, the United States entered the ranks of the world's most advanced and dynamic economies. At the same time, the nation sustained an expansive and brutal system of human bondage. This was no mere coincidence. Slavery's Capitalism argues for slavery's centrality to the emergence of American capitalism in the decades between the Revolution and the Civil War.
