Abstract
Two economic models, one static and one dynamic, are built where contrived dependence, the cheap acquisition of a factor service by systematically rendering its employment opportunities less accessible or rewarding, is the fundamental mechanism for the procurement and allocation of resources and for fueling economic growth. The models shed light on some of the economic mechanisms underlying the use of forced labor and the appropriation of indigenous lands in former colonial countries, and in the initial stages of the economic development of many LDCs.
