- rmc 12y agoActually, there is some evidence that slavery was very economically efficient. 'The Half Has Never Been Told' by E Baptist lays out how enslaved labour picked much more cotton than the then free labour.
- Kalium 12y agoInteresting! I'll look it up. That was then, though. Now, when skilled labor is of greater importance and unskilled labor of comparatively little value, I submit that things may well be very different.
