Say, who's the guy who argues that slavery is a necessary by-product of free trade? Do you remember?

It was David Ricardo. In his thesis on comparative advantage, he also asserted that the natural price of labor stabilizes at the subsistance level. But the global trade shills prefer to keep that part of Ricardo's theory hush-hush.
