The book presents a critical examination of Eric Williams's thesis regarding Britain's abolition of the slave trade. Seymour Drescher contends that the decision was driven by public opposition rather than economic decline, leading to what he describes as "econocide." He argues that this abolition was detrimental to Britain's economic interests, occurring when slavery was at its peak potential. Drescher's analysis challenges prevailing notions about the motivations behind the abolition, emphasizing the role of public activism in shaping historical outcomes.
