Economic Aspect of the Abolition of the West Indian Slave Trade and Slaver

Eric Williams’s influential and widely debated Capitalism and Slavery, first published in 1944, was based on his previously unavailable dissertation, now in book form for the first time. The significant differences between his two seminal works allow us to reconsider questions whose importance has only increased in our current charged climate.
