This book explores the lure of market capitalism and the beginnings of industrialization in the United States. Lawson's research combines an appreciation for enterprise and innovation with recognition of negative and unanticipated consequences of the transition to capitalism and relates economic change to American freedom and self-determination, links that remain relevant today.
