Laissez Faire Books: "The politically correct view is that critics of capitalism were good guys. This is why early critics of capitalism like historian/biographer Thomas Carlyle and novelist Charles Dickens are treated in textbooks as enlightened thinkers.
George Mason University intellectual historian Levy reveals, however, how Carlyle defended slavery. Carlyle offered racial explanations for many problems, such as the persistence of poverty in Ireland (the Irish were like that). Carlyle thought that since blacks weren't human, they could be legitimately exterminated. Levy notes that Carlyle's vicious writings brought tears to the eyes of Hitler. Levy doesn't spare Charles Dickens, who admired Carlyle (Hard Times was inscribed to Carlyle), and implicitly embraced Carlyle's views about blacks and slavery. Levy goes on to talk about Karl Marx's racism and how Friedrich Engels thought blacks were incapable of learning mathematics.
Levy delights in pointing out that champions of capitalism opposed slavery. He discusses Adam Smith, Thomas Babington Macaulay, John Stuart Mill and others. It was because of their ardent antislavery views that Carlyle denounced classical economics as the 'dismal science.' Levy's solid scholarship illuminates the overlooked links between capitalism and emancipation. "
