    This paper considers the normative assessment of bonded labor from the perspectives of libertarianism and Paretian welfare economics.

Such considerations include: the effects of labor markets on workers' preferences and capacities; the exploitation of the vulnerabilities of the poor; and the permanent binding of one person to another
