The Institute for the Study of the Science of Society Book Discussion the third Saturday of each month, at the Midnight Special Bookstore Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica 310 393 2923 Our book for Saturday, July 21 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. is Capitalism and Slavery by Eric Williams This classic work by a West Indian scholar is a fascinating analysis of how Negro slavery and the slave trade made possible the Industrial Revolution and the rise of capitalism in England and the new world. It also shows how mature industrial capitalism helped to destroy the slave system. Controversial at the time of publication in 1944, it has become the foundation for many future studies of imperialism and economic development. We live with the consequences today. Read the book and join us for a lively exchange of ideas on slavery and the rise of capitalism with lessons profoundly relevant for today. Everyone is welcome.
