This work is suited for historians, Marxists, sociologists, and readers interested in economic history, class structures, and political conflict during America's formative years.

Most historians assume that American capitalism was either imported or the result of market expansion. Post proves otherwise.

Description

Unable to analyse the dynamics of specific forms of social labour in the US, most US civil war historians have ignored its deep social roots. To search out these roots, Post applies the theoretical insights from the transition debate to the historical literature on the US to produce a new analysis on the origins of American capitalism.

In American Road to Capitalism, Charles Post offers a fresh perspective by delving into these historical dynamics. His work bridges the gap between theoretical frameworks and historical events, providing a comprehensive study on how complex class structures and political conflict shaped America's economic development.
