The Ethics of Price Gouging
Journal of Religious Ethics Pub Date : 2017-02-18 , DOI: 10.1111/jore.12171
Shira Weiss

An analysis of the contemporary moral debate over price gouging can advance multiple readings of the challenging biblical episode which depicts Jacob's purchase of the birthright. Ethical considerations, such as the maximization of welfare, preservation of choice, and promotion of virtue are evaluated and then applied to the biblical text recounting the sale of Esau's birthright. Did Jacob act ethically in his purchase of ravenous Esau's birthright, or did he seize a propitious opportunity to exploit Esau's predicament? Is Esau responsible for spurning his birthright, or was he misled as he claims Jacob had “supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he has taken away my blessing” (Genesis 27:36)? An ethical analysis of Jacob's and Esau's intentions and actions in the transaction uncovers the Bible's position on the sale and on the larger moral debate.

哄抬物价的伦理

对当代关于哄抬物价的道德辩论的分析可以促进对描述雅各布购买与生俱来的权利的具有挑战性的圣经情节的多次阅读。道德考量,例如福利最大化、选择权的保留和美德的提升,都经过评估,然后应用到叙述以扫长子权出售的圣经文本中。雅各购买贪婪的以扫的长子名分是否合乎道德,或者他是否抓住了有利的机会利用以扫的困境?以扫是否应该为抛弃他的长子名分负责,还是因为他声称雅各“两次取代了我:他夺走了我的长子名分;看啊,现在他夺去了我的祝福”(创世记 27:36)?雅各和以扫的伦理分析
