ABSTRACT
War has two aspects, that of waste and that of creativeness. Thus, there are two types of war: the war of cross-fertilization, and the war of extinction which is without any creative or constructive after effects. This chapter analyzes the essential constituents of human action into purpose, performance, and reward. Self-interest tempered even cruel masters. Slavery is an institution which is based on the principle of the fundamental denial of freedom and of human rights to the slave class. Vigilance is not only the price of freedom, it is also the price of slavery. In actual history and evolution the lot of slaves was hardly ever quite as harsh and degraded as the legal charter of slavery declares. In cultures which were relatively safe because of their small size, and in cultures which were as powerful as those of the Roman Empire or the monarchies of the Ancient Orient, slavery was not a great disruptive danger.
