Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a thorough examination of the long-held assumption that slave labor is less expensive than free labor. The author draws on various sources, including the observations of economists, historians, and travelers, to demonstrate that this assumption is not supported by the evidence. In fact, the author argues that slave labor is actually more expensive than free labor, due to factors such as the high cost of acquiring and maintaining slaves, their lack of motivation to work hard, and the resulting low productivity. The author also examines the pernicious effects of slavery on the enslaved people, the economy, and society as a whole. The book concludes with a discussion of the benefits of abolishing slavery and the steps that can be taken to achieve this goal. This book is a valuable contribution to the debate over slavery and its abolition, and it offers important insights into the nature of human labor and the importance of freedom.
