The relationship between violence and economic productivity.
Slavery is the state of being unable to leave one's service for another while being considered
as property. People who are enslaved are frequently forced to work and their location is
decided by the person who has enslaved them. Enslavement was historically the result of
debt, breaking the law, or being defeated in a military fight.
Depending on the type of slavery, slaves were enslaved for life or a certain period before
being freed. Enslavement of people through coercion was a common occurrence throughout
human history.
In this essay, I will demonstrate the relationship between economic productivity and violent
global productions. The importance of force in creating a modern market system.
To begin with, when taking a close look at the cotton production by Black slaves you can see
that not only it provided for the vast majority of American export sales, yet also aided in the
creation of a change unequaled in human civilization. 1From the 18th century to the 20th
century, Western countries experienced unprecedented levels of sustained economic
expansion and transformation. 2The West wielded exceptional power over other cultures and
their peoples as a result of these developments.3 North-western Europe was the epicenter of
the industrial revolution, according to almost all assessments.4 Specifically, almost everyone
agrees that it originated in England, and almost everyone agrees that it originated in the late
eighteenth century in northwest England's cotton textile industry.5 There is a development
and innovation path that all human modern cultures are on which originated in England.6 As
indicated in Baptist's chapter, this is where the relationship between violence and economic
production begins with Ball's story as an enslaved person.
Through the individual Charles Ball, Baptist explores the production history of cotton and the
wider institutions of American capitalism.7 Ball had been purchased as a slave by a slave
