Examining the strategies enslaved people used to make money and obtain goods for themselves, and one of the fullest accounts to date of slaves' market practices, Edwards argues that the slaves' economy helped to fuel South Carolina's economic growth--which meant a continuation of the violent and exploitative regime that shaped slave's lives. Enslaved peoples' slow loss of economic autonomy coincided with the capitalist evolution of slavery. Edwards starts by looking at the economic activity of slaves during colonial era South Carolina, considering how they navigated the laws and institutions of slavery in trading with both free and enslaved people. She looks at how the social unrest of the American Revolution provided opportunity for increased trade, and explores the growing autonomy enslaved people saw in trade, often formalized through the courts. However, as the plantations turned their attention to increased profitability, plantation owners increasingly looked to their slave's economic activity as an source of profit. So began the erosion of economic autonomy, as the gains from trade were increasingly captured by slave owners"-- |cProvided by publisher 588 Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (JSTOR, viewed on April 15, 2021) 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 18th century|2fast 648 7 19th century|2fast 648 7 1700-1899|2fast 650 0 Enslaved persons|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85123347|zSouth Carolina|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/n79022914-781|xEconomic conditions.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005736 650 0 Capitalism|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85019958|zSouth Carolina|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/n79022914-781|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 7 Enslaved persons.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1120522 650 7 Economic conditions.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919582 650 7 Capitalism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/846425 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Economic history.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 901974 650 7 Enslaved persons|xEconomic conditions.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01120537 650 7 HISTORY / United States / State & Local / South (AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, LA, MS, NC, SC, TN, VA, WV)|2bisacsh 651 0 South Carolina|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79022914|xEconomic conditions|y18th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002011402 651 0 South Carolina|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79022914|xEconomic conditions|y19th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002011403 651 7 South Carolina.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1204600 655 0 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aHill Edwards, Justene.|tUnfree markets. |dNew York : Columbia University Press, [2021] |z9780231191128|w(DLC) 2020038704|w(OCoLC)1192303908 830 0 Columbia studies in the history of U.S. capitalism.|0https ://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2014094647 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2667826|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
