Calculation and Morality: The Costs of Slavery and the Value of Emancipation in the French Antilles - Oxford Studies in History of Economics
Oudin-Bastide, Caroline (Independent Scholar, Independent Scholar)
This book studies how, from the last third of the 18th century to 1848, comparative costs of slave and free labor played a key role in the French debate over the abolition of slavery. The book thus offers an original view upon the connection between economic calculation and morality.
