9:30 Forum ~ The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism, by Edward Baptist 2014, makes the case that the importance of slavery in the success of the US has been underestimated: “combines the individual voices of an enslaved population within a broader discussion of the economic and geographic growth of America in the nineteenth century. But mostly, he paints a picture of unrestrained, laissez-faire capitalism. A form of capitalism undreamt of by any but the most ardent Ayn Rand fans.” Presented by Charles Redwine.
