It's uncomfortable to admit, but slavery is part of God's cure for poverty. There's nothing inherently sinful about slavery if it's done according to the guidelines God gave us in #torah. It can be the last, best hope for the rehabilitation of people who are very slow to learn.
No slave may be severely beaten, and all Hebrew slaves must be released at the end of the sixth year. When released, a Hebrew slave must be sent out with generous gifts: food, wine, and animals sufficient to support him until he is able to sow and reap his own crops. No Hebrew may own another Hebrew outright. All Hebrews belong to God and authority over them can only be partially delegated.

The world view corrupted slavery the same as everything else it digs its teeth into.
