Indonesian term or phrase: mengabdi kepada harta sehingga mau dipajang
Jika dianalisa lebih dalam, sebenarnya perbudakan modern tidak hanya terbatas pada format yang dikatakan oleh beberapa pendapat di atas. Memang benar bahwa perbudakan telah dikemas dalam bentuk yang lebih “santun” dan “manusiawi”, terutama labelnya. Sebagaimana diungkap oleh Ali Syari’ati dan Quraish Shihab bahwa sekelompok orang terpelajar, bahkan sangat terdidik “otaknya”, melacurkan diri untuk mengabdi kepada harta sehingga mau dipajang dengan berbagai tarif di “pasar budak” internasional. Namun, perbudakan dengan format klasik pun masih didapatkan di banyak bagian bumi ini.

mohon dibantu padanannya thanks

to devote themselves toward materialistic matters, up to the point that they are willing to be place


Explanation:
...untuk mengabdi kepada harta sehingga mau dipajang dengan berbagai tarif di “pasar budak” internasional.
...to devote themselves toward materialistic matters, up to the point that they are willing to be placed in the international "slave" market.


Target term yang benar :
to devote themselves toward materialistic matters, up to the point that they are willing to be placed -> huruf "d" tidak tercantum di atas, tidak muat.

Harta juga bisa diartikan dengan materialistic matters. Hampir mirip dengan jawaban Erich di atas.
Dipajang dalam kalimat ini rasanya lebih cocok diterjemahkan "to be placed"

so materially-oriented that they are willing to be sold


Explanation:
Saya mengusulkan frasa padanan seperti di atas. Tentu saja, harus dilakukan penyesuaian struktur dari kalimat asal agar hasil terjemahannya lebih bagus.

mengabdi kepada harta sehingga mau dipajang


Explanation:
Could perhaps use "paraded" for displayed/put on display, because that would be more in keeping with what might happen in a slave market
