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. He later studied the economic basis of slavery, concluding that it had been economically viable as practiced in the United States and would not have died out without the Civil War; and the economics of health and health care, finding that improved nutrition and improved health contributed significantly to economic growth. His works include Railroads and American Economic Growth (1964); Time on the Cross (with Stanley L. 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).
