An economy has 10 slave owners and 500 slaves. Explain insution of slavery is pareto optimal in this case

Answer»

Answer:

Soltow reports that the average Total ESTATE in the South in 1860 was $3978, as compared to just $2040 in the NORTH. Given that the average slave price in 1860 was $800, if Southern wealth was EXCLUSIVELY slaves, that amount WOULD equate to just over 5 slaves.
