Something About Sugar by George M. Moffett is a comprehensive exploration of the sugar industry, tracing its profound impact on the economic, social, and political landscapes of the United States and the world. Published in 1917, the book delves into the fascinating journey of sugar from its early cultivation and trade to its pivotal role in shaping global commerce and colonial expansion. Moffett meticulously examines the evolution of sugar production, highlighting the technological advancements, labor systems, and agricultural practices that transformed sugar from a luxury commodity into a household staple. The narrative provides vivid accounts of the rise of sugar plantations, the influence of sugar barons, and the complex interplay between sugar interests and government policy. Moffett discusses the challenges faced by the industry, including tariff debates, market fluctuations, and the ethical dilemmas surrounding labor, particularly the exploitation of enslaved and indentured workers. The book also sheds light on the scientific and industrial innovations that revolutionized sugar refining and distribution, making it accessible to broader populations. Through detailed historical analysis and engaging storytelling, Something About Sugar offers readers a window into the cultural and economic significance of sugar, revealing how this seemingly simple substance has shaped societies, fueled fortunes, and sparked controversies.
