5 0

The value of cash crops influenced Southern farmers decision to use slaves because of the cost of slaves. During the 18th and first half of the 19th century, slaves were considered property. This meant that they could be bought and sold. With this mind, it was cheaper to buy and own slaves in comparison to using another type of labor system like indentured servitude. This is because indentured servants were only worked for the farm owner for 4-7 years. Whereas in slaves could be kept indefinitely.

How does the u.s. economy differ from pure capitalism

elixir [45]

Almost 20% of the United States GDP is actually made up of Government Spending.

Contrary to popular belief the United States is NOT an example of a pure capitalist state.

The government intervenes quite often to provide schools, food banks, hospitals, universities, roads and even bails out banks and large corporations. The government even has anti-competition and anti-monopoly laws.

A pure capitalist state would mean even lower intervention by the Government and a free hand of Demand and Supply.
