 Slavery - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
In all countries, people in many occupations are contracted for a period of years, but they are usually paid on a regular basis, are rarely contracted until a debt is paid, and are rarely sold into that status by their parents or others.
Historically, slaves were often those of a different ethnicity, nationality, religion, or race — animal rights and Great Ape personhood advocates would also include species — from those who enslaved them, but in general such slaveries were short.
In Tahuantinsuyu workers outside the not-for-profit sector were subject to a mita in lieu of taxes, that they paid by working for the government.
