Re: Wallerstein on slavery and capitalism

["Anthony D'Costa" <dcosta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

W argues that slavery is one of the "varieties of
economic roles for the peripheral areas of the world economy, which have
different modes of labor control (raw material cash crops based on slave
labor
for the US South contrasted  with food cash cops based on small freeholds
in the
US--West)".

This is functionalism at its best.
