Yuval Noah Harari Quotes

The Slave Trade Was Not Controlled By Any State Or Government. It Was A Purely Economic Enterprise, Organised And Financed By The Free Market According To The Laws Of Supply And Demand. Private Slave-trading Companies Sold Shares On The Amsterdam, London And Paris Stock Exchanges. Middle-class Europeans Looking For A Good Investment Bought These Shares. Relying On This Money, The Companies Bought Ships, Hired Sailors And Soldiers, Purchased Slaves In Africa, And Transported Them To America. There They Sold The Slaves To The Plantation Owners, Using The Proceeds To Purchase Plantation Products Such As Sugar, Cocoa, Coffee, Tobacco, Cotton And Rum.
