About This Item
Chicago: Aldine Publishing Company, 1964. First edition. Near fine in near fine jacket.. First printing in book form of the landmark study that "transformed the study of slavery - and of economic history" (Jamelle Bouie). The extent of the atrocities brought about by the trans-Atlantic slave trade has always been difficult to quantify, with current estimates reaching 12.5 million people forcibly taken from their homelands and enslaved in the so-called New World. In 1958, Conrad and Meyer applied new tools to the field in their influential article, "The Economics of Slavery in the Ante Bellum South" (first published in book form here). Jamelle Bouie argued in THE NEW YORK TIMES that the article's "methods, which relied on statistical data and mathematical analysis, revolutionized the field." 8.25'' x 5.5''. Original quarter brown cloth, grey cloth boards. In original unclipped (no price) pictorial dust jacket. Brown topstain, brown endpapers. xii, 241, [1] pages. Faint foxing to edges. Jacket with a bit of soil and edgewear.
