The Sixth Edition of American Economic History offers a non-technical presentation of U.S. economic history rich in both quantitative techniques and economic theory. While retaining previous editions' hallmark readability and elegant writing style, as well as a focus on laws and institutions, the Sixth Edition brings the study of American economic history into the twenty-first century through updated coverage reflective of the latest scholarship.
