Fogel's early work focused on U.S. railways, which he contended had contributed less to the economic growth of the United States than had been believed.

Engerman, 2 vol. 1974), his provocative study of U.S. slavery; and The Changing Body: Health, Nutrition, and Human Development in the Western World since 1700 (with three coauthors, 2011).
