 The moral hazard objection, problems with instrumentalising the approach and especially the insufficiency and non-necessity of the basic needs account suggest it is not very plausible as an account of fair exchange. However, this does not mean that basic needs and exploitation are unrelated. Exploitations that affect those who are very poor are, quite plausibly, morally worse than those affecting the rich. We can appeal to welfare levels to justify placing a greater concern on the exploitations of certain persons; those exploitations that leave persons unable to meet their basic needs are arguably the most pressing cases.
