Economical Aspects of the Defeate of the Confederates
Economical Aspects of the Defeate of the Confederates. Welcome Slavery was more than a labor system. The slave society of the South in 1860 was a different economic order from the free-labor North.

The Entrepreneur in Economics
Current economic research denies the innate characteristics of the entrepreneur. Rather than attributing economic growth and innovation to personality traits, economists would rather advocate a form of economic determinism: if an aggressive personality dominated an industry, economists try to explain the characteristics of the industry that made aggression a successful strategy.
