The Importance of Slavery and the Slave Trade to Industrializing Britain
利用约翰·斯图尔特·密尔的评论，重新评估18世纪奴隶制对英国工业化的影响，发现糖业和奴隶贸易的规模及增长关联并不特别大。
John Stuart Mill's comment that the British Caribbean was really a part of the British domestic economy, because almost all its trade was with British buyers and sellers, is used to make a new assessment of the importance of the eighteenth-century slave systems to British industrialization. If the value added and strategic linkages of the sugar industry are compared to those of other British industries, it is apparent that sugar cultivation and the slave trade were not particularly large, nor did they have stronger growth-inducing ties with the rest of the British economy.
