This book, first published in 1949, analyses the thread of
Christian anti-authority thought that runs through protests and
revolts from the first days of Christianity to modern times. It
examines social protests of the Middle Ages, through to the
Reformation and the Peasant War of Germany, the English Civil War,
Christian Socialists and fascism and bolshevism. It presents a
clear case for the role of Christianity in social unorthodoxies,
protests and revolts.
In his influential and widely debated Capitalism and Slavery, Eric
Williams examined the relation of capitalism and slavery in the
British West Indies. Binding an economic view of history with
strong moral argument, his study of the role of slavery in
financing the Industrial Revolution refuted traditional ideas of
economic and moral progress and firmly established the centrality
of the African slave trade in European economic development. He
also showed that mature industrial capitalism in turn helped
destroy the slave system. Establishing the exploitation of
commercial capitalism and its link to racial attitudes, Williams
employed a historicist vision that has set the tone for an entire
field. Williams's profound critique became the foundation for
studies of imperialism and economic development and has been widely
debated since the book's initial publication in 1944. The Economic
Aspect of the Abolition of the West Indian Slave Trade and Slavery
now makes available in book form for the first time his
dissertation, on which Capitalism and Slavery was based. The
significant differences between his two works allow us to rethink
questions that were considered resolved and to develop fresh
problems and hypotheses. It offers the possibility of a much deeper
reconsideration of issues that have lost none of their
urgency-indeed, whose importance has increased.

Humorous, uplifting, and informative, Final Legacies is written for
the recreational reader as well as for survivors of loss by death.
The author traces his own views of death from his early childhood
through the present and reveals methods of recovery in the Final
Legacies left by the deceased. The book is a must for those who
have lost a significant other, who counsel the dying and their
survivors, and who will face loss in the future. The humorous
treatment of a very heavy subject relieves the reader of the
emotional devastation of reading about death.
