Four centuries of Atlantic trade moved people as cargo and counted them as profit. This book examines the economic architecture that made maritime slavery routes not merely possible but central to the emergence of modern capitalism. It traces how ships, insurance, credit networks, and port infrastructure formed a system where human beings became liquid assets—insured, financed, and recorded in ledgers alongside sugar and cotton.
