Hall of Fame: Capitalism and Slavery
Eric Williams was Trinidad and Tobago's first Prime Minister after independence. Pretty consequential stuff. But for us, and for this week's guest Alex Renton, Eric was so much more. Because in the 1940s, he became the first historian to forensically question the economics of slavery. The Oxford...
