The Stolen Wealth of Slavery: A Case for Reparations is a nonfiction investigative history by journalist David Montero. Published in 2024, the book examines how slavery generated enormous wealth not only in the American South but also through Northern banks, insurers, brokers, and corporations that helped finance, protect, and expand the slave economy. Its central purpose is to challenge the common view that slavery was a regional institution with limited long-term economic reach. Instead, Montero traces how profits tied to enslaved labor were redirected into industrial growth and modern corporate power, shaping institutions that still exist today. The book is both historical and argumentative: it reconstructs the financial afterlife of slavery while making a moral and economic case for reparations, especially corporate accountability. In doing so, it places economic history, racial justice, and contemporary reparations debates into one tightly linked framework.
