I'm looking for any recommendations on books that focus more on the psychology of slavers and what motivations / mentality lead to supporting and developing slavery. The whole topic is extremely interesting to me, I have read quite a few books on the atrocities towards slaves but I'm interested in reading deeper into why. Any recommendation is welcome 😊

*Liberalism* by Domenico Losurdo describes many famous liberal philosophers’ support of slavery in their own reasoning and words.

Frederick Douglass had some ideas on the subject that fit fairly well with what we’ve since learned about cognitive dissonance.
