Bøker av William Nelson Parker

Focusing on the nineteenth-century experience of three US regions, the northeast, south and midwest, these essays trace the agricultural and industrial sources of wealth and growth that accounted for the country's development as a flourishing nation.

Taken together, the essays in this volume offer a particular, yet comprehensive, view of the economic history of Western Europe since the Renaissance. In the concluding essay, Professor Parker examines the break-up of the capitalist synthesis and speculates on its transmutation into other forms.
