Slavery as the Driving Force Behind Ancient Civilisations
A passage discusses J. M. Dent and Company's study The Nemesis of Nations by M. W. R. Paterson.

The text cites slave pits and demographics as evidence of a society built on fear and labor, contrasting ancient stagnation with modern progress.
