Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical examination of the early 1800s anti-slavery movement in the United Kingdom. The author extensively covers the controversy over the ethics and legality of slavery, particularly in the British West Indies. The author also explores the debates over the role of the British government in regulating colonial affairs and the push to abolish slavery within the colonies. The book argues that the movement was driven not by morality but by economic and political interests, primarily the abolition of the slave trade, which the author argues was part of a larger push for free markets and ultimately led to the consolidation of British imperial power. This book adds depth to debates over the role of slavery in modern capitalism and provides a nuanced perspective on abolitionist movements. The author examines the complex interplay of economics, politics, and morality that has shaped the history of slavery and its abolition, offering valuable insights for understanding contemporary debates over racial and economic justice.
