My view would be that the free market would love slave labor. Free markets mean the most competitive producer thrives (at least part of free markets is based on this theory). The producer who doesn't have to pay his workers anything beyond food and housing has the lowest cost of labor, thus his products are cheaper than those produced by paid employees.

The free market would provide little incentive to free slaves. The best I can think is the cost of a slave would tend to rise...
