There are two opposing views concerning intuitive cases of wage exploitation. The first denies that they are cases of exploitation at all. It is based on the nonworseness claim: there is nothing wrong with a discretionary mutually beneficial employment relationship. The second is the reasonable view: some employment relationships can be exploitative even if employers have no duty towards their employees. This article argues that the reasonable view does not completely defeat defences of wage exploitation, because these do not rely solely on the nonworseness claim. They also rely on the idea, popularised by Alan Wertheimer, that exploitation is a form of disequilibrium price occurring in defective markets. The article then proceeds to criticise Wertheimer’s account through neoclassical, new institutional, and Austrian economics. It concludes that considerations for economic efficiency are irrelevant to assessing intuitions regarding exploitation.

作为不均衡价格的工资剥削

关于工资剥削的直觉案例有两种相反的观点。第一个否认他们是剥削的案例。它基于非恶化声明:自由裁量的互利雇佣关系没有错。第二种是合理的看法:有些雇佣关系可能具有剥削性,即使雇主对其雇员没有义务。本文认为,合理的观点并没有完全打败工资剥削的辩护,因为这些辩护并不仅仅依赖于非恶化索赔。他们还依赖于艾伦·韦特海默 (Alan Wertheimer) 推广的观点,即剥削是在有缺陷的市场中发生的一种不均衡价格形式。然后,文章继续通过新古典主义、新制度和奥地利学派经济学来批评 Wertheimer 的解释。它的结论是,对经济效率的考虑与评估关于剥削的直觉无关。
