Say why

smaller consumer base

"muh wealth of nations"

You spend little on them and get a large workforce

Is genocide better?

why is wealth something to not like?

Its a book

i know but im saying

the gist of it is wealth right?

and how nations should acquire as much as possible?

Also u can make them work without consuming much, thats good, not bad

malnourished african hard labour hmmm

This is good, u consume what they dont

As if it were a bad thing

id say the purpose of forced labor more so is to dwindle down their numbers while making some use of them - it may not be profitable short term but if theyre eradicated long term you can move in your own people and develop it like that

@Punished Nazberg to make a slave the most profitable to work you need to feed, house, and aid a slave

How is it not profitable

im not saying it ISNT

its gonna cost more anyways unless the slaves are largely disposable

im sayign EVEN i we assume it is

I've already stated how easy/cheap that will be to do

He produces more

Ffs with this kind of thought the world is a deficit

It clearly is not

Or we would be living like monkeys

which is what made it widely inefficient lol, a slave also is much more unskilled, uneducated, and has less of an incentive to work. actual skilled workers are likely to produce much more and become much more efficient over time working for their own wage

he doesn't produce more because he'd be either too distressed or too physically incapable to do so

So ur people should do all the work yeah, bc work is fun 🙂

He consumes literally nothing

yeah

Some bread? Ragged clothes? A cage to sleep?

compared to a well fed, much more physically capable and well rested man

and when that slave dies you're guaranteed to need to replace it which obviously is costly unless you go for trashy slaves

Yes ofc its more efficient but its also a stressful job which u dont want to do

innovations negated the need for needing slaves to pick cotton

What about the jews in nazi germany

you're comparing a war economy to an agrarian economy,

jews in nazi germany were mostly geared to the war effort iirc

Wtf when did i mean agrarian economy

Yes

And
