Abstract
Wherever dechristianisation could not have possibly materialised, in those polities which abandoned God to start with, since the Fall to the eschaton, slavery was never substantially execrated, having continued to this day, net of abolitionism, in globalisation. Thence the perduring Arab slave trade over one millennium and the improbability of an end to the Atlantic one absent abolitionism, which would have withal flowed indeed into globalisation. No sooner was Western Europe by contrast dechristianised at heart, in the tares of Protestantism, than the internal slave raids ended together with the tutelage of feudalism.

This article argues that any form of persistent slavery rests on the absence of dechristianisation, which Western Europe underwent with the rise of Protestantism
Summary
Stefano Fenoaltea (1999) intriguingly explained feudalism and the Atlantic slave trade as transitory Boserupian mechanisms of exchange between backward and developed areas, of slaves for manufactures, after gold or wherewithal and before foodstuffs, at constant transportation costs. He argued that feudalism ended once Western Europe definitively surpassed the Levant’s technology and he counterfactually predicted the natural end of the Atlantic slave trade on account of the said mechanism. Even if the Atlantic slave trade had not ended artificially, in abolitionism, the said real wage readjustment would have generated that wage compression globalisation inflicts upon the West today. In terms of theory dechristianisation is introduced as the model’s determining component, as it were reversing Boserupian causality to exogenous demand for slaves in exchange for any tradable; the extended model thereby comprehensively accounts for the rise and fall of feudalism, the two African slave trades and any ultimate dynamic of enslavement since the Fall to the eschaton
