Engerman S.L., Gallman R.E. The Cambridge Economic History of the United States, Vol. 1: The Colonial Era
Подождите немного. Документ загружается.
In the past several decades there has been a significant increase in our
knowledge of the economic history of the United States. This has come
about in part because of the development of economic history, most particu-
larly with the emergence of the statistical and analytical contributions of the
"new economic history," and in part because of related developments in
social, labor, and political history that have important implications for the
understanding of economic change. The
Cambridge Economic
History of
the
United
States
has been designed to take full account of new knowledge in the
subject, while at the same time offering a comprehensive survey of the
history of economic activity and economic change in the United States, and
in those regions
whose
economies have at certain times been closely allied to
that of the United States, Canada and the Caribbean.
Volume I surveys the economic history of British North America, in-
cluding Canada and the Caribbean, and of the early United States, from
early settlement by Europeans to the end of the eighteenth century. The
volume includes chapters on the economic history of Native Americans (to
i860),
and also on the European and African backgrounds to colonization.
Subsequent chapters cover the settlement and growth of the colonies,
including special surveys of the northern colonies, the southern colonies,
and the West Indies (to 1850). Other chapters discuss British mercantilist
policies and the American colonies, and the American Revolution, the
constitution, and economic developments through 1800.
Volumes II and III will cover, respectively, the economic history of the
nineteenth century and the twentieth century.
