At the suggestion of my ex-partner, Brad deGraf, I wrote up a prompt for Claude to have it try to estimate what the net present value of enslaved labor would be if translated into purchasing power of modern real estate prices in the slave states.

In the meantime I hope you will agree that the following is entertaining. The real trick is to estimate what the correct interest rate on the labor is. or would be.
