Yeah, it is literally called the "slave trade".

  So there were no slaves under barter or pre-barter economies? Armies didn't take people and put them to work if they didn't kill them? All of this precedes "capitalism" and also existed in non-capitalist economies. What were gulags and other such mechanisms if not enslavement with added mortality?

    Are there any examples of barter or pre-barter economies ? I thought there was evidence that money was invented fairly early to be able to keep track of what goods or services had been exchanged.

    Slavery isn't particular to capitalism, but definitely is not in contrast to it or separate from it. Even if you relegate it to far-off countries and simply import goods from them without asking how the goods were made.
