Heidi’s Reviews > Ages of American Capitalism: A History of the United States > Status Update

Overall interesting so far, interesting how home economics and political economy were so much more tightly viewed in the early USA. Some interesting parallels around the civil war, with an underwhelming mixed cross section of the Whig party got split by one issue and turned into several other parties. Also, how slaves as capital/collateral created additional pressure to expand slavery, similar to oil leases now.
