Inhoud:

In this provocative analysis of the postbellum southern economy, Gavin Wright finds in the South's peculiar labour market the answer to the perennial question of why the region remained backward for so long. After the Civil War, Wright explains, the South continued to be a low-wage regional market embedded in a high-wage national economy.
