The British Slavery Abolition Act of 1834 provided a grant of £20 million to compensate the owners of West Indian slaves for the loss of their human “property”. The Economics of Emancipation examines the effect of compensated emancipation on colonial credit, landownership, plantation land values, and the broader spheres of international trade and finance.
