The Myth of Slavery as an Engine of Growth (Paraphrased):

Lipton Matthews May 30th 2026 _
Slavery enriched slaveholders, not societies, which is why slave economies throughout history
consistently lagged in growth, innovation, and industrial development.
… while slavery existed throughout world forever, marxist historians never claim it generated capitalism except in the USA
… when debates ignore the Lefts fake moral narratives in favour of empirical analysis, all evidence points away from their enrichment thesis/conspiracy
… slavery entrenches stagnation; economies which include slavery negatively impact their own labor markets, wages, technological advances, incentives to innovate, and freedom, ultimately costing all of society except slave holders, slave traders, and marxists whose Bankrupt-The-West plan includes crying for higher minimum wage laws for citizens, while promoting invasion of cheap illegal foreign labor
… the International Labour Organization estimates that slavery-derived profits amount to roughly $44 billion annually worldwide, profits which do not diffuse throughout the wider economy in the way proponents of the enrichment thesis imply. Industries such as cocoa production farmers use slave labor and receive the same global market price; the slave owner retains the larger profit margin and any gains do not help the broad social prosperity (which all socialist leaders claim to support) but remain concentrated within coercive networks (which all socialist leaders actually support)
… other contemporary slave examples include forced prostitution in Thailand, brick kilns in Pakistan, and India’s hereditary Debt Bondage where entire families can be trapped into slave labor over personal debt. Despite extraordinary profits for slave owners the broader economies remain characterized by inequality, underdevelopment, weak institutional capacity, economic impoverishment, political instability, and barbarism.
… 21st century slave labor is also documented in the production of coffee, sugar, textiles, gemstones, agricultural goods, and minerals essential for electronic devices; armed groups in the Congo force slaves to mine minerals used in mobile phones and computers. Slavery enters global financial markets via subcontracting arrangements (ie China)
… Western Europe and North America became wealthy because of institutional strengths such as financial sophistication, technological innovation, legal stability, and secure property rights (hello Canada)
Read it all.
Nice … Although this is the class of the lp. I find myself liking mellow Stones … even “sucking in the 70’s Stones” (this cut was originally written in the 70’s) … in my older age. The guitar phrasing and rhythm is very catchy. And melodic piano layering is tasty.

Mick Taylor and Keith Richards at their melodic best
Sonny Rollins – sax
Nicky Hopkins – piano
The tune just … feels … New York to me. Probably more lyrically than musically.
