The Growth of the Slave Economy in Britain
Timothy Stanley: In your theory, how does this increase in wealth for slaveholders? How does it affect British manufacturing capacity? So what's development? It basically means to get people out of agriculture and into cities and factories. He says that there's this process of structural transformation industrialization facilitated by helicopter drops of money coming from the slave economy.Stanley: I can only admire the work you've done because you have done this region by region rather than just saying this was the total amount of money that went into the whole of Britain.
