Review:

'An important contribution to our historical understanding of how capitalism functions. Well researched.'
Maria Mies, author of Patriarchy and Accumulation on a World Scale

'A very worthy and well written book.'
Robin Cohen, author of The New Helots

'Potts's outstanding achievement us to provide an overview of the transfers of labour since the discovery of America. Her pioneering study is consistently concerned with highlighting the double exploitation of women.'
Peripherie
