Market and domination

.

Chapter 2 in Global Justice, Markets and Domination, 2020, pp 68-97 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: In this chapter I begin analysing how both neo-republicans and labour-republicans have dealt with the economic implications of the account of freedom as non-domination, and differently from them I shall propose the counterview that the whole issue regarding market domination should be solved at the structural level. Then, I shall defend this account (exploitation without interpersonal domination) from two powerful objections. The first objection concerns the very empirical fact that job contracts are usually incomplete, hence an employer might be said to practice arbitrary interference over an employee when the former provides the latter with a job contract less enjoyable than she could have reasonably expected. The second objection pertains to the alleged arbitrariness of an unequal property system, against which it could be argued that property laws are not arbitrary in the republican sense if properly invigilated and that the borders of the proletarian group are permeable.
