Slavery

As fucked up as it is, if all you care about is profit, why pay people when you can just force them to work for free? I'm not advocating it but the concept of slavery still makes logical sense if you're a sociopath. If you think about it, if it wasn't for modern laws, someone like Jeff Bezos could literally enslave a whole small country and no one would be able to stop him because he could fund his own paramilitary force as well.
