The impact of cotton and slavery in the nineteenth century American South was so dramatic and enduring that neither the region nor the nation has yet escaped from the influence of that era of regional prominence.

This one is tough!,
By Art Chance (Anchorage, AK USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Political Economy of the Cotton South: Households, Markets, and Wealth in the Nineteenth Century (Paperback)
If you slept through or dropped out of your Econ class, this one is a chore. I hadn't thought about x - y axes and regressions in about forty years, so I struggled with the econometrics. Pretty good stuff, a bit iconoclastic. So The South had a prosperous economy that was well adapted to national and international markets; doesn't fit the usual canon, does it? Good work, good myth busting.

Political Economy of Cotton South,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Political Economy of the Cotton South: Households, Markets, and Wealth in the Nineteenth Century (Paperback)
Although this book is now more than twenty years old, it is still the best book on its subject. Wright has the ability to bring material together from a number of sources and from a number of points of view and make a coherent story. It is too bad that someone hasn't done the same for other regions of the country.
