Cambridge, April 20, 1974" on the front free endpaper. A sweeping re-examination of the economic foundations of American Negro Slavery, drawing on considerable new research, Time on the Cross is an excellent example of cliometrics or "the new economic history". Fogel, together with Douglas North, won the 1993 Nobel Prize for economics "for having renewed research in economic history by applying economic theory and quantitative methods in order to explain economic and institutional change". Simon Kuznets was Fogel's dissertation superviser at Johns Hopkins university.

Description:
Boston, Toronto: Little, Brown and Company,, 1974. A controversial work by the Nobel Laureate First edition, first printing, signed by the author on the half-title of each volume. The authors controversially argued, using sophisticated economic models, that American slavery was more economically profitable than previously believed, indeed more productive than free labour. In 1993 Fogel was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics (along with Douglass North) for developing "'new economic history', or cliometrics, i.e. research that combines economic theory, quantitative methods, hypothesis testing, counterfactual alternatives and traditional techniques of economic history, to explain economic growth and decline" (Nobel press release). 2 volumes, octavo. Original brown cloth, spines lettered in gilt. With dust jackets. Jackets a little worn and scratched with two longer tears at head of spine panel of vol. II, unclipped: fine copies in good jackets.
