## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Éric Williams’s masterpiece
  

*by W***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 June 2024*

One of the great classics. Erudite, ground breaking, beautifully written, it is required reading for anyone who wants to understand the links between  slavery and capitalism.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great fact based Insights on the making of the British Empire.
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 June 2022*

Two of my favourite topics - History and Economics provide the context for this enlightening book– This is one of those books  one must read to fully appreciate the creation of wealth during the period of the British Empire.This book does not seek to discuss the slave (the person) but slavery (the business model) and the underlying model which was is sorts used to justify disgusting actions. This book discusses the ‘economic’ model and presents interesting facts, the kind of facts that really should be taught on all history courses.For me the conclusion summed it up....... “Men pursuing their interest, are rarely aware of the ultimate results of their activity. The commercial capitalism of the eighteenth century developed the wealth of Europe by means of slavery and monopoly” (page 199)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Very enlightening
  

*by W***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 February 2022*

The book reveals information that thought I knew but didn't. It is a very detailed bit of writing and I thoroughly enjoyed it.I can see why the author had trouble getting it printed.I would have given it 5 stars but the font size is much too small for my liking.
