This study of North American economic history argues that culture and institutions play an integral role in determining economic outcome. It focuses its examination on the eight colonies of the North, five colonies of the South (which together made up the original 13 states) and French Canada.

New World Economies is a close examination of the economic development of the original thirteen colonies and French Canada between 1713 and 1775. Thoroughly documented and rich in statistical data, this study traces the trajectory of economic growth by region and establishes a clear connection between the rate of growth in the North American colonies and their parent countries.
