Description
In this highly original empirical study, Winifred Barr Rothenberg documents the emergence of a market economy in rural Massachusetts between 1785 and 1800—decades before America's first industrial revolution. Drawing data from exhaustive research in farm account books, probate documents, and town tax valuations, the author makes a significant contribution to the debate about the pace, pattern, and genesis of growth in the early American economy. Rothenberg disputes recent historical interpretations of the preindustrial New England village as a so-called moral economy, showing the simultaneous emergence of markets for farm produce, farm labor, and rural capital. She links market integration to labor productivity growth and agricultural improvement, confirming that market-led growth in Massachusetts agriculture was at the origins of the American industrial revolution.
