Um what?

Without sufficient prosperity, there would be no subjugation of economic colonies including the slave trade as the countries that did so would not be able to afford them. Just because the prosperity that resulted from these among other things was used to subjugate economic colonies and participate in the slave trade, does not mean that trade and property rights didn't cause the prosperity necessary to do these things in the first place.
