I discovered you last year via Twi...Hello Bradley,<br /><br />I discovered you last year via Twitter and have become a big fan of some of your work on this blog. I found your previous critiques of Ed Baptist/Beckert work on slavery and US capitalism to be very interesting. A few questions:<br /><br />1. In one of your previous posts you calculated that cotton only accounted for about 6% of US GDP in the antebellum period. I was wondering, what percentage of all cotton was actually slave cotton vs free-grown cotton? <br /><br />2. By any chance, have you read Joe Francis' recent piece on the role of slavery in US development: https://joefrancis.info/pdfs/Francis_US_slavery.pdf? If I recall Pseudoerasmus was somewhat complementary of at least the theoretical economic grounding of Francis argument, though I don't think he tried giving the paper a thorough critique in any way. I was wondering if you've read it yet and have any thoughts?Jimbonoreply@blogger.com
