I like the concept behind the article, that modern first-world society can be a very subtle but powerful trap. But that is not slavery. Slavery still exists today. There are more slaves today then ever. This type of article, and the thinking behind it is helpful; it could help free your time and money up to help people who cannot help themselves.
One organization working to educate people about modern slavery and fighting to stop it is the Not For Sale Campaign (http://www.notforsalecampaign.org/ http://www.notforsalecampaign.org/)
- Retreads 15y agoThanks KE! This was my initial reaction as well. Sometimes it's nice to apply abstraction in order to grease the wheels of reason, but abstraction has a nasty double edge. ("Owner cared for well-being") does not equal ("Only individual cares for well-being"). Not even a little bit.
