So slaves who are highly productive for fear of their life, or even chattel-workers (I.e. Most folks) who likewise produce for fear of the bread line... They have a high standard of living?
I call shenanigans. The best predictor for having a high standard of living is having a high standard of living.
Also, define "standard". The most universal standard I can consider is leisure.

Obviously slaves or chattel workers can raise the average standard of living of a group as a whole, if you include their masters. Assuming that that system of labor is actually "highly productive" which I don't think I agree with.
