The correct answer is slavery
Slavery, is the social practice in which a human being acquires property rights over another called a slave, to whom this condition is imposed by force.
In some societies, since the most distant times, slaves were legitimately defined as a product. Prices changed according to physical conditions, professional skills, sex, age, origin and destination.
When we speak of slavery, it is difficult not to think of the Europeans who overcrowded the holds of their ships of men brought from Africa regardless of their wills and who were put up for sale in an inhuman and cruel manner throughout America.
Justin Yifu Lin is a Chinese economist who is the author of the book "The Quest for Prosperity: How Developing Economies Can Take Off".
In his papers, Lin describes how the China, which many centuries ago was forced to enter a trade with Great Britain after the Opium Wars and was solely seen as a sourcing point, now faces a completely different reality in regards to commercial relations with the British.
The Chinese, whose strength relies on their massive and relatively cheap labor force, understood that the key to development was in acquiring knowledge that would let them thrive in the creation of their own industries. This process has been ongoing throughout the second half of the 20th century until nowadays, as British Enterprises set operations in Chinese Soil, employing Chinese citizens who would eventually benefit from all the knowledge they received. This process has resulted in the creation and incredible growth of global enterprises such as Hayer or Huawei.
