Dr. Spaulding reads aloud Howard W. French's chapter 18 from Born in Blackness.  The author describes the role of Barbados and the Caribbean as the space that controlled the direction of the sugar trade as it moved to be controlled by the Dutch in the Western Hemisphere to the British. He specifically speaks to the ways in which the "Company" model under girds the credit system that fueled the quick expansion of corporatism and industry that typifies modern life.
