Pomeranz argues that "slavery helped make Euro-American trade unlike any between Old World cores and peripheries" (267) by making "the flow of needed resources to Europe self-catalyzing in ways that consensual trade between Old World regions was not: it anticipated, even before industrialization, the self-perpetuating division of labor between primary products exporters and manufacturing regions in the modern world" (24).
