美国人往往习惯将奴隶制归结为一种前现代时期的落后制度——或许是这个国家的原罪，但似乎只是被隔绝在特定历史时期之中，与美国后来的繁荣崛起毫无瓜葛。然而，这种割裂的看法抹杀了数百万在奴役中遭受苦难的人们留下的完整历史遗产。正如历史学家 Edward E. Baptist 在获奖巨作 The Half Has Never Been Told 中所揭示的那样，美国独立后前八十年间奴隶制的急剧扩张，恰恰是推动美国演变与实现现代化的核心动力。在短短一代人的时间里，美国南部便从一片沿海狭窄且土地贫瘠的烟草种植园蜕变为横跨整个大陆的棉花

在爱德华·E·巴普蒂斯特（Edward E. Baptist）写的《半数未曾言明：奴隶制与美国资本主义的崛起》（_The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism_）一书里，也能看到类似且极具震撼力的叙述。这本书在某些研究方法上稍微有点争议，但总体来说，只要你接受过那种公立……
A similar and very powerful narrative can be found in _The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism_, by Edward E. Baptist. The book is slightly problematic in some of its methods, but overall I would highly recommend it to anyone who was taught the public…
其实，有证据表明奴隶制在经济上是极其高效的。E·巴普蒂斯特的《半数未曾言明》就详尽阐述了被奴役劳工采摘的棉花是如何远远多于当时的自由劳动力的。
Actually, there is some evidence that slavery was very economically efficient. 'The Half Has Never Been Told' by E Baptist lays out how enslaved labour picked much more cotton than the then free labour.

In a key passage in the book, Baptist purports to add up the total value of economic activity that derived from cotton production, which at $77 million made up about 5 percent of the estimated gross…
……总是费尽心机地避免得出可能不利于“无监管市场”论点的结论。这种倾向在该杂志2014年对爱德华·巴普蒂斯特的《半数未曾言明：奴隶制与美国资本主义的崛起》臭名昭著的书评中达到了荒谬的顶峰。该杂志反对巴普蒂斯特对奴隶贸易的残酷描写，声称这本书不够资格被称为“客观的奴隶制历史”，因为“几乎……
…is constantly at pains not to risk conclusions that may hurt the case for unregulated markets. This tendency reached its absurd apotheosis in the magazine’s infamous 2014 review of Edward Baptist’s The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism. The magazine objected to Baptist’s brutal depiction of the slave trade, saying the book did not qualify as “an objective history of slavery” because “almost…
