- wavefunction 3y agoIt's not an accurate claim either.
- pfsalter 3y agoAgreed. There's nothing inherent about slaves that is more efficient than paid laborers. It's just cost and time. It can look incredible that the Romans built these huge structures, but the timescales were measured in decades. Same with cathedrals in the middle ages. If you've got 200 years to build something you can really do a great job.
