Slavery and Technological Change

R. Keith Aufhauser

The Journal of Economic History, 1974, vol. 34, issue 1, 36-50

Abstract: Much of the confusion in the debate on slavery and technology derives from the belief that identifies technological change with progress. Not only the Awkwrights and Seniors thought this way; Marx and, from what I have heard from my colleagues at this conference, a fair proportion of economic historians maintain that the salvation of society depends upon changes in the techniques of production.
