The History of Slavery
http://gco2e.blogspot.co...history-of-slavery.html
Someone asked me today: Who does finance work for? Good question.
The answer: Whoever is collecting the largest portion of the economic rents. From the most valuable asset in the world. The Land.
Across history the class of rent taker has been the same. The landlord. Their common name has changed and their identity has been obscured the more time goes on.
Today, the de facto Landlord is commonly called a banker. Allow me to show you how:
Chattel Slavery
Before land was fully enclosed (free land still existed) rent used to be collected very directly by owning the bodies of people, forcing them to do your work for you on pain of death. For example Egypt, Rome or the USofA. Forced imprisonment of labour was the only way to get the unearned income.Free people would otherwise run to the free land. A very costly form of slavery as the owner of private property in their bodies had to keep them fed, clothed, in a condition well enough to work and sheltered, not to mention capturing them and keeping them chained up. Chattel slavery.
Wage Slavery
While commerce was still mostly agricultural but land had become enclosed there was no need to own the bodies of people any more.
