In 1930, the West—for present purposes, Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado—had a level of per capita income payments that stood at 79 per cent of the national figure. In that same year, the figure for the South—Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas—was 51 per cent.

The name of our discipline, economic history, suggests the use of history in reaching economic conclusions, and the use of economic principles in classifying the findings of history. Actually, both practices deserve to be employed more than they are. This is an effort to employ a simple economic principle to reinterpret our nation's economic development. The principle is that the cheaper a factor of production is, the more generously it will be used, and contrariwise, the more costly a factor of production is, the more sparingly it will be used.
