Chapter 5
Why do you think slavery was so much more prominent in Greco-Roman civilization than in India or China?
Indians and the Chinese had very few slaves; it was mainly due to the fact that they had a “lower-class” population that did much of the work that slaves did. Hence, it was not necessary for them to have an abundance of slaves. On the other hand, slaves were an important factor in the growth and wealth of the Greco-Roman civilization, so, they were needed to keep their economic position afloat.
