“The free-trade idea, logically applied, will abolish usury; and with usury will disappear the chief bone of contention between labor and capital. But, just at this point, free-traders go over to the enemy; and many writers on political economy, in flat contradiction of the essential principles of that science, have made elaborate arguments to prove self-government in finance, impossible! What shall we think of men who, having dethroned kings, demolished popes, destroyed slave oligarchies and assailed tariff monopoly, advise submission to the most oppressive and dishonest of despotisms, Usury?” ThinkingMenMadeIdeasSelfGovernmentPoliticalEnemyPrinciplesEconomyImpossibleKingsProveEssentialsArgumentLaborTradeSlaveBonesDisappearFinanceDestroyedChiefsContradictionFlatsPopeSubmissionMonopolyAdviseDespotismAbolishThink Of MeContentionFree TradeTradersOligarchySelf-governmentTariffsPolitical EconomyUsuryLabor And Capital Author:Ezra Heywood
“No principle, that is possible to be named, can be more self-evidently false than this; or more self-evidently fatal to all political freedom. Yet it triumphed in the field, and is now assumed to be established. If it really be established, the number of slaves, instead of having been diminished by the war, has been greatly increased; for a man, thus subjected to a government that he does not want, is a slave.” IfsMenWantDoeHas BeensWarSelfGovernmentPoliticalNumbersPrinciplesFieldsSlavePolitical Freedom Book:No Treason: No. 1- Source: No Treason: No. 1-
“Slowly but certainly the proletarian, by every political reform which secures his well-being under new rules of insurance, of State control in education, of State medicine and the rest, is developing into the slave, leaving the rich man apart and free. All industrial civilization is clearly moving towards the re-establishment of the Servile State.” MenWellsStatesWisdomMovingPoliticalPoliticsEconomyRichCivilizationMedicineSlaveLeavingReformDevelopingWell BeingLiberalismEstablishmentRich ManPolitical Reform Book:Essays of a Catholic Source: Essays of a Catholic
“If one looks into the genealogies of many 'old families,' one discovers episodes of slave trafficking, bootlegging, gun running, opium trading, falsified land claims, violent acquisition of water and mineral rights, the extermination of indigenous peoples, sales of shoddy and unsafe goods, public funds used for private speculations, crooked deals in government bonds and vouchers, and payoffs for political favors.” IfsLooksGovernmentRunningPoliticalUsedWaterDealsRightsLandGunClaimsSlaveFavorsViolentFundGoodsEpisodesTradingSpeculationIndigenousAcquisitionCrookedMineralsOpiumIndigenous PeopleUnsafePayoffTraffickingGenealogyExterminationVouchersBootlegging Author:Michael Parenti
“One finds fortunes built on slave labor, indentured labor, prison labor, immigrant labor, female labor, child labor, and scab labor - backed by the lethal force of gun thugs and militia.

“Ben Skinner's brains and courage take us into the belly of the beast and expose the ugly truth of modern slavery. Instead of sensation, A Crime So Monstrous gives us desperately needed insight and analysis. This is an important book, the first deep look into America's confused relationship with human trafficking and slavery today. Skinner's balanced dissection of our government's haphazard policies will be controversial, but it can also be the foundation for a new anti-slavery agenda, one that ends the political games being played with the lives of slaves.” GivingFirstsHumansLooksImportantBookEndsGovernmentTodayAmericaPoliticalGamesBrainModernCrimePolicyNeededFoundationSlaverySlaveUglyInsightAnalysisBeastConfusedAgendasSensationsBalancedBellyControversialMonstrousHuman TraffickingTraffickingBeing PlayedHaphazardDissectionPolitical GamesAnti SlaverySkinnerModern SlaveryUgly TruthSlavery Today Author:Kevin Bales
