Title: Had Fogel known how to write, you might've beleived him
Review: Initially, the notion that chattel servitude/slavery would not have died on its own is a fascinating concept. Very quickly, however, the reader discovers that Fogel is so deeply wrapped up in his ideas that he fails to properly paint the picture of a strong southern society in which slavery was a blessing to Southern Blacks. The interest subsides as his poorly written and disorganized book turns into page after page of confusion. WARNING-- DO NOT ATTEMPT TO READ THE SECOND PART OF THIS WORK WHICH IS A DETAILED EXPLANATION OF METHODS, DETAILS, AND ANALYSIS. UNLESS YOU ARE A MONSTER MATHEMATICIAN OR A PSYCHOPATH, THIS SECOND VOLUME WILL BE A WASTE OF GOOD TIME AND MONEY
