What You Don t Know About Slavery

Cambridge University has announced that it will finally - just two centuries after the abolition of slavery and about 80 years after the end of the British empire - conduct an "in-depth academic study into ways in which it contributed to, benefited from or challenged the Atlantic slave trade and other forms of coerced labour during the colonial era". If Fogel and his frequent coauthor Stanley L. Engerman represent the most authoritative challenge by economists to Williams’s decline thesis, Seymour Drescher now stands as the world’s leading authority on the British abolition movement and the author of the only book that traces the history of slavery and antislavery from the sixteenth century to the "reversion" in the twentieth century to massive systems of coerced labor, a work I reviewed in these pages.1 Moreover, in Econocide: British Slavery in the Era of Abolition,2 Drescher has provided the most detailed and extensive refutation of Williams’s thesis regarding the abolition of the British slave trade, a refutation accepted and enriched by the work of David Eltis and David Richardson, the world’s leading experts on the transatlantic slave trade (founders of the invaluable Voyages: The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database and authors of the recent prize-winning Atlas of the Transatlantic Slave Tra

Impasses are uncomfortable, but the discomfort can lead to breakthroughs, experiments, and new ways of thinking. This can be accomplished by keeping the two sides of the trade-off separate: making profits short-term and sustainability projects long-term, addressing trade-offs in some product lines but not others, creating sustainability teams that are authorized to pursue environmental objectives in certain projects separate from the rest of the business, or running experiments with uncertain outcomes to find resolutions to the trade-offs. Here, you can use all of the options to find answers to your questions. The biggest challenge for leaders today is addressing the conflicts in which people cannot find the win-win and cannot yet innovate around the problem.

To give some contemporary comparisons for this figure: a study executed by US economists working for the federal government concluded that the weight of the entire ‘digital economy’ - Silicon valley, e-commerce, the digital infrastructure up to and including the cable companies - contributes around 6.5 per cent to the US GD
