"Slaves in Pakistan may have made the shoes you are wearing and the carpet you stand on. Slaves in the Caribbean may have put sugar in your kitchen and toys in the hands of your children. In India they may have sewn the shirt on your back and polished the ring on your finger.""

So long as the poorest countries are eviscerated by way of the IMF/WTO, as well as other neoliberal policies, this will persist.

The bible says that those slaves better be obedient as if their masters were Christ himself!
