Its elaborately comparative structure--England and France; the thirteen colonies and Quebec; the North, the Upper South, and the Lower South--gives the reader command over an immense palette. --Agricultural History Drawing upon numerous quantitative and non-quantitative sources, Marc Egnal has presented an important analysis of the economic development in the thirteen colonies of British North America and in French Canada in the period before the American Revolution. With its detailed examination of major issues, New World Economies joins Egnal's recent Divergent Paths as essential reading for understanding the causes and consequences of economic changes and their implications for broader political and cultural questions. --Stanley L. Engerman, University of Rochester A bright light on the darkest era of American economic history. This is an important and useful book, for its refinement of the existing theoretical frame, its wealth of empirical data, its breath of context, and especially for its study of synchronic change in the Atlantic world of the eighteenth century. Marc Egnal is the master of this subject. We have much to learn from him. --David Hackett Fischer, Brandeis University This book provides a model for what should be a major project of the next decade; a synthesis of the economic history of the early modern Atlantic world...Egnal has added intelligent legends that relate them to his account. --The Journal of American History New World Economies is a valuable addition to the body of literature about economic development in eighteenth-century North America, and a much-needed comparative study of the British and French colonies. The book is superbly written and contains a valuable array of charts, tables, and new time series on prices of specific exports and imports. It will be the starting point for any future research on the economic development of the British and French colonies in the eighteenth century. --Thomas Weiss, University of Kansas Author InformationMarc Egnal earned his M.A. and Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin, and has received Fulbright and Ford Fellowships. He is currently Associate Professor of History at York University, and is also the author of Divergent Paths: How Culture and Institutions Have Shaped North American Growth (Oxford University Press, 1996) and A Mighty Empire: The Origins of the American Revolution (1988).
