Description: Recognized as a crime against humanity, slavery has the extraordinary ability to adapt itself to new technologies and to social and legal progress. In the past, "predation" meant raids, wars, and kidnapping; today, while wars and abductions are still sources of enslavement, another source must also be added: the economic violence that makes lives vulnerable and fragile. This study of the politics and the economics of predation views slavery as a form that is regularly reinvented, and one that can exist at the same time as humanitarian discourse and economic growth.
