the slaves were more expensive, but also much more productive than modern proletarians
instead of just giving them a miserable salary, the masters actually took care of their slaves, making them grow strong and healthy so they could work better, and they let them breed with each other so they could have more slaves in the future
therefore, an ancient slave would have actually better living standards than a modern proletarian
