The Market Revolution in America: Social, Political, and Religious Expressions, 1800-1880

Twelve essays responding to the Charles Sellars work, The Market Revolution, expand his economic historical account of the shift from agrarian subsistence to agri-business in the 19th century. The explorations, including an essay by Sellars, diversify the thesis to examine the impact of an expanding market on social arrangements, politics, in religion, and the costs and benefits of rising capitalism.
