The Benefits of Technology

When there was a great leap forward technologically, did everyone feel the benefits? And that's what your book painstakingly does is it goes out through history. I mean, again, how can you expect that things would be so seamless when almost all land, almost all technology, almost all power was so concentrated and it wasn't? Another example even closer to home is the cotton gin. The United States became the largest exporter of cotton... But who were the producers where they were the enslaved black people? Did they benefit? Hell no."
