About this product

Product Information

This book considers the impact of slavery and Atlantic trade on British economic development in the generations between the restoration of the Stuart monarchy and the era of the Younger Pitt. During this period Britain's trade became 'Americanised' and industrialisation began to occur in the domestic economy. The slave trade and the broader patterns of Atlantic commerce contributed important dimensions of British economic growth although they were more significant for their indirect, qualitative contribution than for direct quantitative gains. Kenneth Morgan investigates five key areas within the topic that have been subject to historical debate: the profits of the slave trade; slavery, capital accumulation and British economic development; exports and transatlantic markets; the role of business institutions; and the contribution of Atlantic trade to the growth of British ports. This stimulating and accessible book provides essential reading for students of slavery and the slave trade, and British economic history.

A brief and clear analysis of the relative importance of slavery to the British economy
This is an extremely well-written and informative book. It matches clarity with brevity and at the end of an easy day's reading I felt I had a good grasp of the topic. The book tackles the wide range of uncertainties of historical economic analysis and Prof Morgan provides excellent discussion of debated areas such as the assumed profitability of the slave trade cited in Eric William's well known book "Capitalism and Slavery"- [Morgan concudes that WIlliams over-eggs his pudding in terms of profitability and under-eggs it in terms of quantitative evidence]. This little book covers five key areas within the topic and is well well supplied with maps and tables. The book makes extensive use of academic references. The book is analytical rather than judgemental in style and if you want a book decrying all aspects of the involvement of Britain in the slave trade you will feel short-changed here. However, if you want an analysis of the importance (or otherwise) of slavery and the slave trade to Britain's economic growth this is a great purchase. The book was written in 2000, so is no longer at the cutting edge of research in some areas and the reader may have to do some further reading to check things have not moved on.Read full review
