For those who read the comments to decide if they&#x27;d consider to read the article, this is a set of history texts with the topic:<p>&quot;Slavery helped turn America into a financial colossus. And our economy is still shaped by management practices invented by enslavers and overseers.&quot;<p>There are some interesting details about the management practices, but also banking and monetary policies in the texts written by Mehrsa Baradaran, also featured on the page:<p>&quot;The Limits of Banking Regulation&quot;<p>&quot;Fiat Currency and the Civil War&quot;<p>&quot;Cotton and the Global Market&quot;<p>and by Tiya Miles:<p>&quot;How Slavery Made Wall Street&quot;<p>--<p>The title is also shortened from already shortened &quot;American Capitalism Is Brutal. You Can Trace That to the Plantation.&quot; The title visible on the page is &quot;In order to understand the brutality of American capitalism, you have to start on the plantation.&quot;
