Why Slavery?

Slavery has existed throughout human history and prehistory. But why? It all comes down to energy. Ancient humans only had the energy of their own body. The energy of slaves gave the slaveholder more power to do things for the benefit of him and his family. But slavery in America was different. In this podcast the Edifice of Trust host, Victor Bolles, explores why there is much less slavery in the modern world and why slavery in America was so different from anywhere else.
