18th-Century Plantation Slavery, Capitalism and the Most Precious Colony in the World
18th-Century Plantation Slavery, Capitalism and the Most Precious Colony in the World
Abstract
This paper critically engages with the recent literature on capitalism and slavery through the lens of Saint-Domingue. The first section examines some of the socio-economic dynamics in 16th- to 18th-century France. This is followed by an examination of Saint-Domingue’s allocation of tropical commodities, including the island’s role in the emerging world economy. There then follows a comprehensive definition of capitalism and a short outline of historical capitalisms in Europe. The centerpiece of the article scrutinizes non-capitalist, semi-capitalist, early industrial and transitional features, in short, the hybrid socio-economic formation of this French slave plantation colony. Finally, a basic economic classification of modern plantation slave labour is proposed.
