My guess would be that slavery is a more efficient economic model. Where do you draw the line?

I was trying to think of a polite way of making that point. Well done.

>>So we are to deliberately promote economic inefficiency in order to "decentralize"?

That's where you and I disagree. I do not think that economic efficiency is the best barometer how civilized a civilization is. For you it is like an economic darwinism, that those who prosper deserve all benefits and those who fall through the cracks, well, tough luck. That's a very American perspective, by the way.

Most other countries have a more compassionate approach.
