    free market capitalism benefits hugely from slavery. No wages to pay, no workers benefits, etc. and no matter how aware people are, as long as they can get their products, they won’t care about how they are made.

            Sure, the private sector comprises the biggest part of the economy, megacorporations are also private and billionaires are numeorus. The economy surely isn’t on the hands of the workers.
