[Marxism] Centrality of slavery to rise of capitalism

[Auguste Blanqui]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to compile a list of references -- from both Collected
Works and subsequent exegeses or actual studies -- of works examining
the degree to which slavery was central to the rise of capitalism.  I
had an exchange with Proyect over an article by Walter Johnson, "The
"Pedestal and the Veil: Rethinking the Capitalism/Slavery Question",
Journal of the Early Republic (Summer 2004), 299-308 that identifies
slavery as a major lacunae in most of KM's work.  (The article itself
is a close reading of the prim. accumulation section of Capital.)

I found Robin Blackburn's Making of New World Slavery useful here,
also Edmund Morgan's American Slavery, American Freedom and Kathy
Brown's Good Wives, Nasty Wenches, and Anxious Patriarchs helpful for
the American context.  Most stuff on the capitalism-slavery question,
though, is actually more about abolitionism/anti-slavery and
capitalism.

Would be happy to send a PDF of the WJ piece to anyone who wants it.
