The facets of exploitation

Marc Fleurbaey

Journal of Theoretical Politics, 2014, vol. 26, issue 4, 653-676

Abstract: This paper proposes four concepts of exploitation that encapsulate common uses of the word in social interactions: unfair advantage, unequal exchange, using persons as means, and free-riding. It briefly discusses how these concepts appear in the literature (the first two are prominent in Roemer’s classical work), and then examines how these forms of exploitation are related and how they can occur.
