Uma economia em outono

trabalhadores escravos ligados ao labor

Abstract

The main objective of this article is to analyze the two main economies
of Piauí, starting from the end of the eighteenth century
and extending throughout the nineteenth century. From
this analysis we intend to make the reader aware that the need
of the slave laborer in Piauí was closely linked to a productive
system that was based on the exploitation of the work of the
captive. That is, the existence of the slave laborer in Piaui’s
lands was linked to work, regardless of the economic growth
of the region.
