It is definetly a economically viable option.

So even if you have to provide all these things like food shelter and say healthcare it would still be a win.

Lets say you have slave males. Then just give them a dangerous job which earns more money like soldier or working on a oil rig. Or something like that. Provide food ? A 100 pound rice sack and 1 package of vitamine pills and some 2 pounds  butter every 3 months would be enough to keep someone healthy. And the price is very affordable. 2 pounds butter = 5 Dollar 100 pound rice= 100 Dollar 1 package vitamine pills 6 dollar = 111 Dollar/3 about 40 Dollar a month for food including water which is very cheap if you collect rain water or use tap water. electricity is not required for them also you could fit easily 10 in a garage or more in a basement.

I deleted other costs you listed to save space.  Did you factor in also the cost of hiring guards to make sure they don't escape, cost of the compound to secure, and also the costs of recovering slaves that would escape?  Pretty much you would be talking the operating of a prison complex.  Not sure that that point it then becomes viable.

I do have to wonder, despite all this, if the current market system we have now is actually more humane.  You have homeless people who work as day laborers, so what they make doesn't even provide enough for a shelter for them.


First of all if slavery would be allowed again then there is one known rule a slave on the loose has to be killed if someone sees him. And slaves would be marked. In the past they were mostly black so black = slave nowadays if you have multi cultural slaves like it would be nowadays since the society isnt splitted by races but by poor and rich. There would be somekind of mark and police would watch out for stolen or lost property. So an unknown slave marked without master would be found by police and brought back to owner or killed by some honest citizens.

Slaves wouldnt dare to run. Where should they go to ? And by the way there is a technique which is used. Let your property make children and if they run you just execute the children or family members or other people they care. Let then have groups and say if one person runs we kill another or the whole group so the other slaves would fear that they get killed if someone runs so they would spy on each other and report every attempt of flight. With todays technology you could implant a tracking device somewhere in the body without the slave knowing were it is.

 

 

There are endless possiblities. best working is if they live in permanent fear and only absolute devotion to the master gives alittle hope to lead a partially good life.

 

 

There are methodes used in the Gulaks or KZs and by US Farmer which ensure that only a tiny minority of slaves run. And they are for free only thing you need is to be consistent and not allow any exceptions under any circumstances.
