#1 The meaning of "efficient" is different in the original to the rebuttal.

#2 The Peculiar Institution was, without doubt, the main cause of the economic, political, and social backwardness in the Antebellum South.

Probably didn't help that the Yankees destroyed what was there which didn't recover till WWII. Seems the rest of American after 1865 grew quite well economically without too much of a problem, thus making the contention that slavery made America more than bogus.

#3 This whole thesis - slavery = the highest expression of capitalism - is retarded.

Even the Marxist doctrine of history recognizes that there's no connection between slavery and capitalist competition and microeconomic models of how firms behave, models for ownership of the firm, investment models etc.

More crap scholarship of the sort that has degraded the social sciences and turned so much of academe into a joke.
