Subject: This book looks at the issue of American slavery, with specific focus on the rental of slaves. Few slaves escaped being rented out and this book describes the practices and effects this had on both slaves and slave owners. The author explains the importance of the capitalist market as a tool for analysing slavery. He claims that slave hiring is critical to understanding the fundamental nature of American slavery and its social, political, and economic place in the Old South.
