- W194049798 abstract "Targeting contemporary forms of slavery requires an analysis of the conditions that allow for such dehumanizing practices to occur. Poverty and economic disempowerment are central to the proliferation of slavery. In this chapter l draw out some possible links between the present global economic system and contemporary slavery. I focus in particular on financial markets and more specifically on currency speculation in order to show what impact such practices have on the lives of human beings, especially the world’s poor. I then outline existing proposals for a currency transaction tax, known as the Tobin tax, and discuss the ideological debate that underpins it. My intention is to draw attention to the systemic problems of processes of globalization and our interpretations of it, the complexities of which are highlighted in Chapter 1 in this volume. I argue that change is possible, if we are willing to deconstruct and reconceptualize our perceptions of the globalized world to put a concern for human beings rather than profit at the heart of the system and engage in debate about the kind of world we would rather live in." @default.
