American Economic Development in Historical Perspective
This collection of twelve essays is based on the premise that a better understanding of the economic development process can be gained by studying the history of those countries that have experienced long-term economic success, in this case the United States during the nineteenth century - that period of U.S. history most pertinent to less developed countries. Two of its contributors, Robert W. Fogel and Douglass North, received the 1993 Nobel Pr…
Second Thoughts
These essays discuss topics in economic history that have a direct relevance to present policy debates, including banking regulation, immigration, and Third-World development policies. Each essay explores the role of government policies in the outcome of events. Contributors include: Julian and Rita Simon, Robert Higgs, Price Fishback, Elyce Rotella, Barry Eichengreen, Terry Anderson, Susan Phillips, and Richard Zecher
Markets Without Contracts
Without Consent or Contract, by Robert W. Fogel, Stanley L. Engerman, and their colleagues, has been published by W. W. Norton as four volumes of studies on the economics of slavery written in the two decades since Time on the Cross (1974). It is a publishing event of great significance. I can think of no comparable instance of a historical enterprise organized so like a scientific laboratory to pursue a single question-collectively, rigorously, …

The Emergence of Farm Labor Markets and the Transformation of the Rural Economy
This article proposes to do three things: to test for and date the emergence and integration of regional farm labor markets in Massachusetts; to demonstrate their growth consequences for the preindustrial economy; and to present new wage and labor productivity indices for the agricultural economy of Massachusetts from 1750 to 1855. Together with my previous studies it makes the case that the economy of rural Massachusetts was transformed by and u…
The Bound Prometheus
The Emergence of a Capital Market in Rural Massachusetts, 1730–1838
This study is part of a continuing effort to document and date the emergence of a market economy in rural Massachusetts. It uses a probate data base to test for evidence of increased portfolio liquidity, decreased transactions costs, and the appearance of developmental institutional change. A regional capital market, so critical for the industrialization of New England, is found to have emerged in the early 1780s

The Market and Massachusetts Farmers, 1750–1855
This paper attempts to make a contribution, both in method and in substance, to the debate about the timing and extent of market orientation in pre-industrial New England agriculture. The method consists in testing five quantifiable hypotheses, with data from manuscript account books and daybooks. The results, in repeated trials, confirm the influence of the market on the rural economy of Massachusetts from very early on
A Price Index for Rural Massachusetts, 1750–1855
Students of agricultural history, of pre-industrial labor productivity, of New England town histories, and, especially, of pre-1840 rates of economic growth have long needed a price index of Massachusetts farm prices for this period. The article presents two indexes, covering 15 farm products, weighted by their relative importance, first in 1800, then in 1855. Among the several issues raised by the behavior of farm prices between 1750 and 1855, o…
