America's maritime legacy
The Origins of Slavery in the Americas
This article offers an overview of the rise of African slavery in English America. Several propositions are useful in ordering the historical record. The most important is that transitions to African slavery in the several colonies of England's emerging empire can be better understood if Britain's Atlantic world is approached as a single if imperfect and fragile labour market, and if variations in the composition of the workforce among colonies a…

Prices, Food, and Wages in Scotland, 1550-1780
This 1994 book is a study of Scottish price history and a major contribution to the economic and social history of early modern and pre-industrial Britain. Using the remarkable series of 'fiars' prices for grains and other contemporary sources, Gibson and Smout focus, in particular, on the prices of grain, meal and animal products, and assess how Scots artisans and labourers could survive in an economy that could pay only very low money wages. Th…

American Economic Growth and Standards of Living before the Civil War
This benchmark volume addresses the debate over the effects of early industrialization on standards of living during the decades before the Civil War. Its contributors demonstrate that the aggregate antebellum economy was growing faster than any other large economy had grown before. Despite the dramatic economic growth and rise in income levels, questions remain as to the general quality of life during this era. Was the improvement in income wide…

Sources of Investment Capital in the Colonial Philadelphia Shipping Industry
As economic historians delve more deeply into the economy of the Continental Colonies, they become increasingly aware of its sophistication. Good Englishmen in every way, the colonists' economic development closely paralleled that of a Mother Country which, of course, by the 1770's, was on the eve of an industrial revolution. The British themselves constantly complained of colonial competition in most every sphere of activity. Yet any claims for …
The Current Value of English Exports, 1697 to 1800
VER since Charles Whitworth first published his volume on the State of the Trade of Great Britain in I776, scholars have used his figures to evaluate England's balance of trade with the rest of the world.' Perhaps the most interested in this endeavor have been historians of colonial America who have related Whitworth's numbers to the changing fortunes of the colonies, to their currency problems, and, naturally, to the American Revolution. They ha…
