What role did economics play in leading the United States into the
Civil War in the 1860s, and how did the war affect the economies of
the North and the South? Tariffs, Blockades, and Inflation uses
contemporary economic analyses such as supply and demand, modern
market theory, and the economics of politics to interpret events of
the Civil War. Simplifying the sometimes complex intricacies of the
subject matter, Thornton and Ekelund have penned a nontechnical
primer that is jargon-free and accessible. Tariffs, Blockades, and
Inflation also takes a comprehensive approach to its topic. It
offers a cohesive and a persuasive explanation of the how, what,
and why behind the many factors at work on both sides of the
contest. While most books only delve into a particular aspect of
the war, this title effectively bridges the gap by offering an
all-encompassing, yet relatively brief, introduction to the
essential economics of the Civil War. This book starts out with a
look at the reasons for the beginning of the Civil War, including
explaining why the war began when it did. It then examines the
economic realities in both the North and South. Also covered are
the different financial strategies implemented by both the Union
and the Confederacy to fund the war and the reasons behind what
ultimately led to Southern defeat. Finally, the economic effect of
Reconstruction is discussed, including the impact it had on the
former slave population. Thornton and Ekelund have contributed an
overdue examination of the Civil War that will impart to students a
modern way to better comprehend the conflict. Tariffs, Blockades,
and Inflation offers fresh, penetrating insights into this pivotal
event in American history.
