Seymour Drescher

Abolition

Buch

In one form or another, slavery has existed throughout the world for millennia. It helped to change the world, and the world transformed the institution. This book examines these dramatic expansions and contractions of the institution of slavery and the impact of violence, economics, and civil society in the ebb and flow of slavery and antislavery during the last five centuries.
