Neoliberal economy has been developed under promises of grater freedom and progress,paradoxically the capacity for human degradation within the logic of neoliberalcapitalism goes far beyond dominant criticism. It is not only that there is degradation ofwork life as a result of Taylorism and automation, not only greater ecological perils dueto the greenhouse effects of industrial performance, and it is not the case just thatinternational arrangements of the economic foster poverty and exclusion at theperiphery of capitalist neo-liberalism. We are experiencing now a radicalization ofhuman degradation in unexpected proportions to the point that slavery has come back tosupport economic growth and wealth accumulation, even though slavery is forbiddenalmost everywhere, reality is that in today’s world the economy is fed by slave work.In this paper we study the ways neo-liberalism has allowed for the development of anenslaving economical system. First at all we shall review the main evidences of what Icall the enslaving economy, second we shall move to discuss the Dynamics ofNeoliberal Slavery differentiating the Micro-Dynamics, Macro-Dynamics, and theMeso-Dynamics of Neoliberal Slavery. Finally it is presented proposals to face the fastgrowing development of slavery including interventions in organizations, education,political action, etc.

A escravidão é um fenômeno complexo e multifacetado. Dessa maneira, também são variadas as formas de analisá-la. O combate ao trabalho escravo, por essa razão, deve procurar entender o seu objeto da forma mais ampla possível. A partir dessa premissa, na presente dissertação foi objetivado entender a escravidão a partir da sua análise sociológica, com fulcro de o seu entendimento jurídico ser mais rico e fecundo, e, portanto, o seu combate ser mais eficaz. Com a finalidade de cumprir esse objetivo, a escravidão foi estudada primeiramente no campo jurídico, com análises doutrinárias e jurisprudenciais, e, depois, analisada no campo sociológico, exclusivamente a partir da perspectiva doutrinária. O resultado da dissertação consistiu no confrontamento desses dois campos, por meio do qual se concluiu que: 1. A escravidão é comum à história humana, logo, o seu combate é árduo; 2. Ela é sempre uma manifestação de força e de violência, logo, cabe ao Direito do Trabalho a sua definição; 3. Ela aliena o trabalhador de forma objetiva e subjetiva, sendo relevante o seu combate em ambas as frentes; 4. Ela não é economicamente irracional, variando o seu grau de produtividade, sendo influenciável, portanto, pelo contexto econômico em que se encontra e 5. A discriminação racial no Brasil é um de seus resultados, logo, o combate a uma implica no combate a outra. / The slavery is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon. Thus, there are also different ways to analyze it. The fight against slave labor, therefore, should seek to understand its object the broadest possible way. From this premise, in this dissertation was objective is understand slavery from its sociological analysis, with the fulcrum of its legal understanding be richer and fruitful, and more effective. In order to fulfill this goal, slavery was first studied in the legal field, with doctrinal and jurisprudential analysis and then analyzed in sociological field, exclusively from the doctrinal perspective. It was concluded that: 1. Slavery is common in human history, so their combat is hard; 2. Slavery is always a manifestation of force and violence, so it is up to Labor Law to define it; 3. Slavery alienates the worker objectively and subjectively, and it is relevant fight it on both fronts; 4. Slavery is not economically irrational, varying the degree of productivity, being influenced, therefore, by the economic context in which it is included and 5. Racial discrimination in Brazil is one of slavery results, so the fight one means to combat the other.

The following paper is based on eight opisthographic fragments as assembled and published by D.M. Lewis in Hesperia XXVIII (1959) - IG II² 1554-59 and Ag. I 3183 - and Hesperia XXXVII (1968) - Ag. I 4763. Although the existing text is fragmentary, much of it remains intact and is legible. Both faces of the stele consist of entries recording the results of fictitious trials for abandonment, in which, in every case, chattel slaves were acquitted from their masters and given metic status. Along with each acquittal, there was a payment of a phiale worth one-hundred drachmas. This stele now stands as the most complete manumission document surviving from ancient Athens and its existence compels us to ask many more questions than can perhaps be answered. Manumissions were exceedingly uncommon at Athens, as attested by the near absence of literary and epigraphical evidence for them, and it is unclear why such a document would appear suddenly, having no predecessors, save for a few fragments found to be from around the same period, never to be followed by further evidence of its kind. Why would it have been necessary to simultaneously manumit so many slaves in the last quarter of the fourth century? Surely, it wasn't to honour them, judging from the format of the entries. What, then, was the purpose? With this question in mind, the following topics were explored. Chapter one focused on the legal aspects of the document such as what was meant by the apophugon procedure and who paid for the phiale. Chapter two involved charting the deme-distribution of the former masters and slaves, with the purpose of finding a general area of domicile. for those named on the document. The third chapter discussed the various occupations listed in conjunction with the former slaves, with the ultimate motive of finding what types of slaves were being released and what this might reveal about the document's purpose. The following conclusions were formed: the slave probably bore the responsibility for the payment of his release, which here took the form of a phiale. Based on Plato's reference to paramone agreements in Laws 915a, it is viable that such agreements were practiced at Athens and, furthermore, that .they were similar to those found at Delphi. The deme-distribution of both the former masters and slaves provides evidence that the majority probably had domiciles in city-demes. Lastly, the fact that the highest percentage of former slaves were involved in wool-working and domestic-service lends some credence to the slaves' manumissions having been based upon something other than solely the attainment of freedom. These slaves would have been virtually unskilled and, therefore, the cheapest for the masters to release. As for the other more skilled slaves listed, they would almost certainly have been living-apart, already in a. quasi-free state. In essence, these slaves appear to have been token manumissions, although their new legal status is indisputable, assembled from the more politically active city-dwellers, whose purpose was to allow the state to gather revenue for the oncoming and inevitable war with Macedon. This revenue took the initial form of phialai payments and then, subsequently, the perpetual metoikion payments, required of every metic. The text of the inscription, as published by D.M. Lewis (1959 and 1968), along with his assembly of the fragments, is included. I have also written an English translation. Charts and maps of the former masters' and slaves' deme distribution and slave occupations are also included, as well as an appendix on slave names.
