It could be argued that slavery in some countries partly coincided with a general move toward economic liberalization, the earnest start of which should perhaps be marked by the repeal of the British Corn Lawsin 1846. But coincidence of globalization and slavery is silent on the subject of causality.Rather, globalization was driven by tremendous improvements in technology that eased the flow of labor, goods, and capital across the globe. Of course, it could be argued that technological advances that were instrumental to globalization also made the slave trade easier. But, unintended negative consequences of human discovery are common.

可以认为：在某些国家，奴隶制在一定程度上与经济自由化的总体趋势相符合。这一趋势最早开始的标志或许应该是1846年英国玉米法的废除。但是，全球化和奴隶制的巧合并不构成因果关系。相反，全球化是由技术的巨大进步推动的，技术的进步缓解了劳动力、货物和资本在全球的流动。当然，可以认为，有助于全球化的技术进步也使奴隶贸易更加容易。但是，非计划的消极后果是常见的。
