Summary "Tracing slavery's integral role in the formation of a capitalist world economy [Dale Tomich] reinterprets the development of the world economy through a 'prism of slavery'. Through a sustained critique of Marxism, world-systems theory, and new economic history, Tomich develops an original conceptual framework for answering theoretical and historical questions about the nexus between slavery and the world economy"--Page 4 of cover.
