  • by Gavin Wright
    £32.99

    Through an analysis of slavery as an economic institution, Gavin Wright presents an innovative look at the economic divergence between North and South in the antebellum era. He draws a distinction between slavery as a form of work organisation, the aspect that has dominated historical debates, and slavery as a set of property rights.

  • - Revolutions in the Southern Economy since the Civil War
    by Gavin Wright
    £27.49

    In this provocative analysis of the postbellum southern economy, Gavin Wright finds in the South's peculiar labour market the answer to the perennial question of why the region remained backward for so long. After the Civil War, Wright explains, the South continued to be a low-wage regional market embedded in a high-wage national economy.

  • - The Economics of the Civil Rights Revolution in the American South
    by Gavin Wright
    £22.49

    Southern bus boycotts and lunch counter sit-ins were famous acts of civil disobedience but were also demands for jobs in the very services being denied blacks. Gavin Wright shows that the civil rights struggle was of economic benefit to all parties: the wages of southern blacks increased dramatically but not at the expense of southern whites.
