Reviews

""Overall, I found the book really enjoyable, suitable both as a research contribution and for those who would like to enrich their history of economic thought teaching. Of particular merit is Pisanelli’s ability to employ historiographical tools and means typical of the history of economic thought to support broader theses pertaining to the history of colonialism and its interdependence with the history of abolitionism."" Thomas Mueller, The European Journal of the History of Economic Thought
