520    Accounting for Slavery offers a history of business and 
       management practices on slave plantations in the British 
       West Indies and the American South, covering the century 
       from approximately 1780-1880. Far from lagging behind 
       Northern manufacturers, the most sophisticated Southern 
       planters used complex management techniques, measuring and
       monitoring their human capital with precision. More 
       broadly, the book explores the complex relationship 
       between slavery and capitalism in American history. The 
       traditional story of modern management focuses on the 
       factories of England and New England, largely ignoring 
       plantation economies. Drawing on extensive archival 
       research into plantation accounting practices, the author 
       argues that the harsh realities of slavery were compatible
       with a highly quantitative, calculating style of 
       management. Planters allocated and reallocated slaves' 
       labor from task to task, precisely monitored their 
       productivity, and depreciated their "human capital" 
       decades before depreciation became a common accounting 
       technique.--|cProvided by publisher
