Humane slavery under Secular Koranism
Lowering the status of the debtor unable to satisfy creditors would be a deterrent to individuals and governments who live beyond their means borrowing and lending irresponsibly.
Under Secular Koranism, the Department of Work and Pensions (“DWP”) will become the Department of Work, Pensions and Manumissions.
We are already unofficially the Slaves of the Government.
When we cannot repay a loan or cause more damage than we can afford to repay, we will become the Official Slaves of the Government.
The property of the slave resides in the government who will hire out the slave to hirers of slaves.
Hirers of slaves will pay into the account of the slave until the amount required for manumission is reached.
All slaves have the right to manumission.
To ensure that Government Property is not damaged and the slave is working properly, there will be Slave Visitors who will turn up in pairs from time to time to see that the slave is not being abused by the hirer.

Slaves should not be associated with just working in mines, picking cotton or being flogged to death.
Greek philosophers have ended up being tutors of Roman children.
If you’re a middle class and educated, you could become a Slave Governess or tutor to the children of wealthy parents, like Maria played by Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music who married her employer the Baron.
You could even be a Slave Banker, Slave Banker, Slave Accountant, Slave Comedian etc.
Slavery could even be considered a career opportunity for the slave who will meet people above his class whom he may impress and be employed by as a freeman after manumission.
