 "The economic history of the United States", one scholar has written, "is the history of the rise and 
 development of the capitalistic system". The colonists of the eighteenth century pushed forward what 
 those of the seventeenth century have begun: the expansion and elaboration of an economy born in the 
 great age of capitalist expansion.

 as seed to increase the next crop, or to feed workers who build tractors. This process of capital

 the tools to buy tomorrow.
