Child labour; sweatshops and low wages: There are
many market exchanges that strike us as morally
problematic because they are exploitative. But what
exactly is exploitation? And how could a voluntary
and mutually beneficial exchange be morally wrong?
Hillel Steiner and Nicholas Vrousalis will discuss
the relevance of exploitation as a concept for
analysing and criticising the exchanges; relations and
institutions of contemporary market economies.
