Harmony Guinn on Modern Slavery in Supply Chains: Psychology + Law, Real Fixes
Modern slavery hides in global supply chains. This paper pairs developmental psychology (ACEs, trauma) with law (due-diligence and non-punishment) to show how policy can shift incentives so exploitation becomes legally risky and economically irrational, pushing institutions toward child-safe production.
Harmony Guinn on Testing Anti-Trafficking Through Ethics: Rights, Duties, and Real-World Results
This paper uses ethical frameworks, rights-based, deontological, utilitarian, Eastern harmony, and Indigenous “seventh-generation” thinking, to examine child trafficking and forced labor. It shows why blanket bans can backfire and argues for a mixed approach: enforce protections while funding education and poverty reduction so families aren’t pushed into hidden exploitation.
