{"product_id":"9781498524605","title":"Hemp and the Global Economy: The Rise of Labor, Innovation, and Trade","description":"Hemp helped not only to define economic development in southern and border-states, it also played a crucial role in agricultural production in the Mid-Atlantic, as well as industrial development in the North-east. From the founding of the nation, the manufacture of American hemp helped monetize the US economy. US hemp producers also established a range modern labor practices, including the identification and training of skilled labor, the use of seasonal workers, and ultimately, the creation of a sliding scale of wages. This book chronicles this history, as well as the contemporary controversy obstructing the production of both industrial hemp and medical marijuana. The analysis concludes with a survey of current industrial hemp projects, including several promising adaptations - as a potential medicine, a bio-fuel, and most promisingly, a reliable source of clean computing fabrication.","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47178248225008,"sku":"9781498524605","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781498524605_p0.jpg?v=1769896502","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781498524605","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
