Book Description
Excerpt from Cotton in the Empire of Brazil: The Antiquity, Methods and Extent of Its Cultivation; Together With Statistics of Exportation and Home Consumption Under normal conditions Brazil can scarcely become a competitor of the United States in cotton production. But the disappearance of slavery, and the consequent adoption of some system of small farming, will, in the near future, materially (increase the present production. Slavery has fostered a remarkable conservatism in agriculture, which must, with the aid of educated planters, soon disappear. Cotton fac tories are already rapidly springing up and prospering, and.

Book Description
WINNER OF THE BANCROFT PRIZE • A Pulitzer Prize finalist that's as unsettling as it is enlightening: a book that brilliantly weaves together the story of cotton with how the present global world came to exist. “Masterly … An astonishing achievement.” —The New York Times The empire of cotton was, from the beginning, a fulcrum of constant global struggle between slaves and planters, merchants and statesmen, workers and factory owners. Sven Beckert makes clear how these forces ushered in the world of modern capitalism, including the vast wealth and disturbing inequalities that are with us today. In a remarkably brief period, European entrepreneurs and powerful politicians recast the world’s most significant manufacturing industry, combining imperial expansion and slave labor with new machines and wage workers to make and remake global capitalism.
