Stanley Engerman on Slavery
Stanley Engerman, economist and co-author of Time on the Cross, offers deep historical perspective on slavery worldwide. He traces how people became enslaved, legal codes and incentives used to manage labor, manumission practices, and the economic value and profitability of slavery before the Civil War. The conversation also covers methodology, regional persistence into the 19th century, and the war’s connections to slave wealth.
