4.0 out of 5 stars This one is tough!, July 27, 2006
By Art Chance (Juneau, AK USA) - See all my reviews
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Political Economy of Cotton South, October 23, 2000
By A Customer
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.
