Reviews

'A bold and data-rich reinterpretation of African and European economic divergence. By placing slavery and freedom at the center of the story, Whatley offers a provocative account of how the two regions became mirror images of each other; an argument that will challenge readers and energize debate across disciplines.' Marlous van Waijenburg, author of Financing the African Colonial State 'Warren Whatley has given us a sweeping interpretation of interactions between European and African development, with slavery and freedom at the center of the historical narrative. The results are stunning. Highly recommended to readers of all backgrounds.' Gavin Wright, author of Slavery and American Economic Development
