- W4237566178 abstract "To see slavery primarily as a social institution does not imply that no important economic consequences flowed from it. Slavery extends the slave-owner’s capacity to do by means of his slave anything that he chooses to do; depending on the values and priorities of owners, slaves may be made to perform all sorts of functions, including economic ones, but it is only where the profit motive takes precedence over all other values, as in Western capitalism, that slaves will be treated primarily as a ‘working class’. Much of the scholarship concerning itself with Greek and Roman slavery has assumed that the primary function of the institution was economic, a means of providing cheap labour as in Brazil, the Caribbean, and the southern United States. But the economic role of slaves in the ancient world should be seen in the context of the history of the ancient economy in general. While slavery was not the ‘cause’ of any distinctive developments, it made it possible for slave-owners to react much more quickly to changes in the economy than they would have been able to if they had had to rely on autonomous or ‘free’ labour which would have had to be persuaded of the need for any changes." @default.
