Have we all returned to an era of slavery?
About a hundred year ago, most people earned their living with small scale business. There was no boss as such but if you didn't work hard you didn't get to eat.
Now, most people work under a boss or for a company. The boss/company is effectively able to hold you in a state of slavery. Keep them happy or lose your job. Contracts may not accurately refelect working hours or practices. Protests about this may not be looked upon kindly. They effectively own you. Instead of being paid for the real value of their labour, people are paid a reduced wage/salary in return for job security. Hence freelancers make so much more.
Is the only truly free individual in todays society the self employed entrepreneur? Would you risk security for freedom and money by becoming an entrepreneur?
