To understand the reality of modern bondage, we must first recognize that slavery’s essence lies not in its outward trappings, but in its universal form: the coerced extraction of productive energy. Whether achieved by physical force or through convoluted financial mechanisms, the moral wrong remains the same. Slavery persists wherever a person’s energy, physically, intellectually, or financially, is coercively appropriated, destroying their human dignity, and used to enrich another.
— Neal Flesher, Modern Chains (Chapter 1)
