The Cambridge Economic History of the United States

'It should already be on the shelves of any reader of this journal … reviewing this book is somewhat like reviewing the Bible. This History is also a Very Good Book … This volume and its companions should find shelf space in the personal libraries of all serious professional historians of the United States, not just of those with an interest in the institutions of a dynamic market economy and a capitalist republic … this volume is enormously impressive.'
