The Political Economy Of Slavery - Edmund Ruffin - Bog

""The Political Economy of Slavery"" is a book written by Edmund Ruffin in 1857, which examines the economic impact of slavery on society. Ruffin argues that slavery is not only morally wrong but also detrimental to the public wealth and general welfare of a country. He analyzes the economic costs of owning slaves, including the cost of purchasing and maintaining them, and the lost potential income from free labor. Ruffin also examines the impact of slavery on the larger economy, including its effect on the production of goods and services, and the distribution of wealth. He concludes that slavery is a hindrance to economic progress and that its abolition would be beneficial to society as a whole. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of slavery and its impact on the economy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
