Slavery helped finance the Industrial Revolution in England. Plantation owners, shipbuilders, and merchants connected with the slave trade accumulated vast fortunes that established banks and heavy industry in Europe and expanded the reach of capitalism worldwide. Eric Williams advanced these powerful ideas in Capitalism and Slavery, published in 1944. Years ahead of its time, his profound critique became the foundation for studies of imperialism and economic development. Binding an economic view of history with strong moral argument, Williams’s study of the role of slavery in financing the Industrial Revolution refuted traditional ideas of economic and moral progress and firmly established the centrality of the African slave trade in European economic development. He also showed that mature industrial capitalism in turn helped destroy the slave system. Establishing the exploitation of commercial capitalism and its link to racial attitudes, Williams employed a historicist vision that set the tone for future studies.
William A. Darity, Jr.’s new foreword highlights Williams’s insights for a new generation, and Colin Palmer’s introduction assesses the lasting impact of Williams’s groundbreaking work and analyzes the heated scholarly debates it generated when it first appeared.

thanks for the UP.
The Hon. Eric Eustace Williams is regarded as the “Father of the Nation” of Trinidad and Tobago, having led the then British Colony of Trinidad and Tobago to majority rule on 28 October 1956, to independence on 31 August 1962 , and republicanism on 1 August 1976, leading an unbroken string of general elections victories with his political party, the People’s National Movement, until his death in 1981. He was the first Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago and also a noted Caribbean historian.

And yet, many British people are nostalgic for their blood-soaked empire. Continuously revealing radical failures of education.

“William A. Darity, Jr.’s new foreword highlights Williams’s insights for a new generation,” … that perhaps never heard of the reality that slavery had been in existence long before Mr. Marx co-opted the term “Capitalism.”

I think it encompasses the specific instance of the transatlantic slave trade as operated by the brutal & bloody British empire, and the uses to which the gross, nefarious profits were put.
Always follow the money, as they say. Many of these fortunes exist to this day.
None of us have to be believing Marxists in order to study and revile such practices.
April 21st, 2021
Of course we should all despise such practices, but I’d just point out who had more of a hand in abolishing slavery than anybody else?
Thomas Sowell wrote a terrific essay on how the narrative on slavery has been consistently spun for political purposes, with the focus being almost entirely on the trans-atlantic slave trade (almost ignoring the trade in the Indian Ocean and the Ottoman Empire).
April 21st, 2021
Promoting slavery for lucrative centuries, then being against it when it becomes less profitable? And extending vast compensation to the erstwhile masters? Hardly an ethical revolution - by those already in power. For anyone to pretend otherwise would indeed be spinning for political purposes.
Of course the rest of the world has always had an egregious association with slavery, but this work is concentrating on a particular series of events. The remarkable prevalence of denial in this regard indicates how necessary these books continue to be.

For-profit slavery still exists today.
April 22nd, 2021
True. In many different forms.

Nice irony, when you’re named yourself after leader of a long past blood soaked empire.

Hey! You’ve never seen Planet of the Apes?!
But still, that’s a killer refutation you’ve got there. (Look @ the killer refutation on that guy!)
It cuts right to the heart of the historical analysis of imperialism and the profit from the transatlantic slave trade. Digging down into further denial, dax.

BossMan, he was. Excellent book.
