Slavery and the Economy in T2k

[Bullet Magnet]

I realize this doesn't answer your question, but "slave" need not necessarily mean the classic hard labor/field hand type most of us (Americans at least) tend to think of. Another type of slave would rarely even need to get off her back.

Just one more thing to consider I guess.

This is true, however post nuke there's likely to be move value in a strong back in the fields/mines/factories than one on their back.
This isn't to say there wouldn't be any, the soldiers/marauding scum need their "entertainment" afterall...
However, those used in that way are likely to very quickly loose what value they started out with as they are physically and expecially emotionally used up. The slaves in the mines might be in constant danger from rockfalls, mistreatment, and starvation, but at least they're not (usually) being sexually violated as well.
