520    "Centering the slaves' economy in the rapid growth of 
       capitalist enterprise in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-
       century American South, Justene Hill Edwards explores the 
       detrimental influence of capitalist innovation on slaves' 
       economic pursuits in South Carolina, the most pro-slavery 
       state in America. 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"--
