@johnjhorton @asv141 @mushfiq_econ @brianrtw John is right — there’s a strand of scholarship that while intending to be very progressive seems to be crediting slavery with all kinds of economic miracles. Logan’s work on this is a useful clarification — it’s a transfer from the enslaved to the slavers not a growth machine. — PolitiTweet.org
