On the Substack

Slavery Was America’s Biggest Asset. Who Owns the Next One?

Dan’s new writing lives on Substack — this piece traces how owned labor shaped 1860s politics, and what the parallel means for AI today.

Infographic titled “Who owns the (free) labor?” In 1860, 1 in 70 free Americans was a slaveholder — one dark dot in a grid of 70. Today, 71 percent of the world’s AI compute is owned by five companies (Google 25, Microsoft 17, Amazon 13, Meta 11, Oracle 5 percent), and 87 percent of US household stock is held by the richest 10 percent, while the bottom 50 percent holds about 1 percent. If AI’s returns follow today’s ownership, the bottom half of America collects about a penny of every dollar.
