What about the cheap calories that slave-produced sugar provided the British industrial working class? How important was that to the take-off. I think that even Brenner famous for his rigorous focus on internal causes grants that Pomeranz may have a point here. Don't see how the ethnicity of the Fed economist has anything to do with what they say just as the possible Jewishness of a banker has nothing to do what he does, qua banker. Yours, Lakshmi
