While the Consumer Revolution did depend on products brought from other parts of the world, allowed luxury goods to be available to ordinary families, resulted in enormous prosperity for some European countries, and made commodities more affordable by moving production to Europe, it was not predicated on slave labor. While it is true that slavery played a significant role in the production and trade of some consumer goods during this time period, it was not a necessary component of the Consumer Revolution as a whole.
