| Abstract | "Slavery in the British Empire and its Legacy in the Modern World, by Stephen Cushion, situates the crime of enslavement within the business practices that place profit before people. . Not only did slavery pollute British politics for over two hundred years, but it still contaminates its contemporary capitalist system. The exploitation of enslaved labor stimulated capitalist expansion during and after the bloody reign of the British Empire-at the cost of war, interimperialist rivalry, Indigenous genocide, and the murderous suppression of the rights of the enslaved. To this day many of the direst problems still facing the world-from horrific economic inequality to rampant environmental decline-have their origins in the institution of slavery"-- Provided by publisher. |
