the roots of rural captialism chris clark

…

…The book was a good read, but it still left me very much confused. The book, The Roots of Rural Capitalism is a great study into the world of capitalism in the antebellum period. The main argument from Clark is that cultural and ideological changes along with economic changes led to the growth of the Valley. I think this is real important because it shows that the growth of capitalism was not the same everywhere.
