Snippet: Kevin Bales on the Cost of Ending Modern Slavery

Paula Goldman, Live from the Momentum Conference

-----

An amazing plenary this morning on the notion of rights. Here's an interesting tidbit from Kevin Bales, head of Free the Slaves, and a tremendously convincing speaker.

Fact: There are roughly 20 million slaves in the world today.

Fact: The estimated cost of finally wiping slavery off the face of the earth: 10.8 billion dollars, the equivalent of Intel's 4th quarter profits.
