slavery actually becomes way more profitable as individual labor productivity increases, because the base costs of reproduction for an individual person are relatively the same for anybody - but if they're also your slave then you get to keep all profit from their labor value. In market conditions, capitalists have to compete for rare or high value labor with high wages & salaries, which eats into their profits way more than if they could just pay subsistence costs for a slave.

For sure. But for unskilled labor, where there is an over-abundance of workers, paying a pittance is much cheaper then investing in a slave.

That said as demonstrated by the continued co-existence of slavery and sweat shops ITYOOL 2017 there are obviously cases where various types of slavery have advantages.

It's important to keep in mind that unskilled labor has also experienced massive multipliers to their productivity in terms of value creation. The only reason they earn low wages is because of market forces driving labor competition to depress wages. Wage laborers also have an independent right to struggle, and while you can try to violently resist unionizing and other political agitation chances are you're still going to have to grant concessions. A wage laborer is protected by regulations that limit their maximized value to capital, like work week regulations requiring overtime. A slave you can do anything you want with, and they have no independent rights because you can simply beat them into submission whenever you want. The capital cost of purchasing a slave may sound like a lot, but any modern slaveocracy would pursue policies that minimize those capital costs as much as possible, and which would also minimize subsistence costs of slaves through public programs.

Singlepayer healthcare, for instance, is more cost-effective to businesses because it unburdens them of the responsibility of providing for employee healthcare, and reduces prices as close to at-cost as it can. The reason we don't have singlepayer is largely because of a significant class of the bourgeoisie which isn't required to provide healthcare, and are able to more thoroughly exploit their labor without an additional burden of higher taxation. If instead all capitalists were slaveholders, then it would be in their interests without exception to minimize the cost of healthcare for their slaves.

Going back to the initial capital costs of slaves, the same pressures that depress wages for "free" labor would also broadly drive down the capital cost of hiring a slave. The more slaves there are, the lower their individual capital value will become, and value would have to be added through physical prowess or skillsets, just like it was in antebellum slavery.

The bottom line here is that slavery was abolished where it was because of political forces, not due to issues of efficiency in production. The cotton gin and the later development of welfare states, make it clear that the value of slavery to capital could always rival any free labor system, if not eventually surpass it with all of the revolutions in surveillance technology and management techniques.
