The greatest trick of slavery is convincing its victims that they need it to survive. Though serfs could not be sold like chattel, their lives were still bound to the land, their labor conscripted to sustain the nobility. Across Europe and the Islamic world alike, feudal systems extracted value through religious pretense, legal subjugation, or economic dependency.
— Neal Flesher, Modern Chains (Chapter 1)
