Accounting for Slavery

Caitlin Rosenthal explores quantitative management practices on West Indian and Southern plantations, showing how planter-capitalists built sophisticated organizations and used complex accounting tools. By demonstrating that business innovation can be a byproduct of bondage Rosenthal further erodes the false boundary between capitalism and slavery.

Caitlin Rosenthal exploreaza practicile de gestionare cantitativa a plantatiilor din vestul Indiei si din sud, aratand modul in care plantatii-capitalisti au construit organizatii sofisticate si au folosit instrumente contabile complexe. Prin demonstrarea faptului ca inovatia in afaceri poate fi un produs secundar al robiei, Rosenthal erodeaza in continuare falsa granita dintre capitalism si sclavie.
