在这项极具原创性的实证研究中，Winifred Barr Rothenberg记录了1785年至1800年--美国第一次工业革命之前的几十年--马萨诸塞州农村地区市场经济的出现。作者从对农场账簿、遗嘱认证文件和城镇税收评估的详尽研究中提取数据，为关于美国早期经济增长速度、模式和起源的长期而激烈的辩论做出了重大贡献。罗森伯格强烈反驳了最近对前工业化新英格兰村庄的历史解释，认为它是一种所谓的道德经济，与市场的迫切需要隔绝。她发现农产品市场、农业劳动力市场和农村资本市场同时出现。然后，她将市场一体化与劳动生产率增长和农业改进联系在一起，证实了马萨诸塞州农业的市场主导增长是美国工业革命的根源。
In this highly original empirical study, Winifred Barr Rothenberg documents the emergence of a market economy in rural Massachusetts between 1785 and 1800—decades before America's first industrial revolution. Drawing the data from exhaustive research in farm account books, probate documents, and town tax valuations the author makes a significant contribution to the long-standing and vigorous debate about the pace, pattern, and genesis of growth in the early American economy. Rothenberg forcefully disputes recent historical interpretations of the preindustrial New England village as a so-called moral economy, insulated from the exigencies of the market. She discovers the simultaneous emergence of markets for farm produce, farm labor, and rural capital. Then, linking market integration to labor productivity growth and agricultural improvement, she confirms that market-led growth in Massachusetts agriculture lay at the origins of the American industrial revolution.
