Beskrivning
This book argues that schools were a driving force in the formation of social, political, and financial capital during the market revolution and capitalist transition of the early republican era. Grounded in an intensive study of schooling in the Genesee Valley region of upstate New York, it traces early sources of funding and support for education (including common schools and various forms of higher schooling) to their roots in different social and economic networks and trade and credit relations. It then interprets that story in the context of other major developments in early American social, political, and economic history, such as the shift from agricultural to non-agricultural production, the integration of rural economies into translocal capitalist markets, the organization of the Second Great Awakening, the transformation of patriarchy, the expansion of white male suffrage, the emergence of the Secondary American Party System, and the formation of the modern liberal state.

Recensioner i media

“In this exciting, readable study, Nancy Beadie demonstrates that the development of public schools in the early national period of the US was tightly connected to the ‘market revolution’ prior to 1840. In a case study of schooling and the economy in the Genesee River region of New York, Beadie shows how civic, economic, and religious factors generated community, trust, and human capital at the same time that they created conflict and competition. Her book belongs to the tradition of fine community and regional studies by scholars such as Merle Curti and William Cronon. It will invigorate discussions about American education in the early nineteenth century.” —Carl F. Kaestle, Brown University
