The dark underside of the modern economy is an expansion in both he detecting & incidence of modern slavery, partly driven by models of gig working & precarious employment already evident in the low-wage sectors of the UK's labour market.
Its just one more aspect of the UK's economy that looks more like economic relations of C19th than the C21st.
These workers are the logical outcome of the UK's already dysfunctional (labour) economy.

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 293.
Percival Everett's riff on Huckleberry Finn, James (2024) is an excellent & evocative read, full of moment of insight about the condition of slavery & the manner in which slaves conducted a secret society unbeknown to the whites. Its a pacy read that wears its politics lightly (but all the time keeps those politics in vision). A great addition to the literature of slavery & a historical novel of some weight!
