Capitalism and Slavery | Eric Williams

1 post | 1 read | 2 to read

The present study is an attempt to place in historical perspective the relationship between early capitalism as exemplified by Great Britain, and the Negro slave trade, Negro slavery and the general colonial trade of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It is strictly an economic study of the role of Negro slavery and the slave trade in providing the capital which financed the Industrial Revolution in England and of mature industrial capitalism in destroying the slave system.

Capitalism and Slavery | Eric Williams

pick

Eric Williams wrote a watershed exploration of the critical role the slave trade and slavery in the West Indies played in the development of English capitalism. Williams was West Indian himself, and you can feel his connection to the material in the book. A fantastic work of historical materialism with critical insights that are still so relevant for today‘s struggles for liberation.
