Fogel, one of the leading pioneers of the "new economic history." Fogel's work is distinguished by the application of economic theory and large-scale quantitative evidence to long-standing historical questions. These sixteen essays reveal, by example, the continuing vitality of Fogel's approach. The authors use an astonishing variety of data, including genealogies, the U.S. federal population census manuscripts, manumission and probate records, firm accounts, farmers' account books, and slave narratives, to address collectively market integration and its impact on the lives of Americans. The evolution of markets in agricultural and manufacturing labor is considered first; that concerning capital and credit follows. The demography of free and slave populations is the subject of the third section, and the final group of papers examines the extra-market institutions of governments and unions. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research conference report. 410 0$aConference report (National Bureau of Economic Research) 606 $aLabor market$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century$vCongresses 606 $aCapital market$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century$vCongresses 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic conditions$vCongresses 610 $alabor market, economics, history, agriculture, manufacturing, capital, credit, slavery, government, unions, regulation, manumission, farming, industrialization, wages, prices, railroads, fertility, slave narratives, wealth, banking, farm tenancy, antebellum, political patronage, women, gender, nonfiction, free blacks, urban politics, construction, interest rates, utah. 615 0$aLabor market$xHistory 615 0$aCapital market$xHistory 676 $a330.973/05 701 $aFogel$b Robert William$0127172 701 $aGoldin$b Claudia Dale$0128928 701 $aRockoff$b Hugh$0126587 712 02$aNational Bureau of Economic Research. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816791403321 996 $aStrategic factors in nineteenth century American economic history$94100268 997 $aUNINA
