 The separation of the structure of exploitation from its ethical content helps to clarify disagreement about whether a particular situation is exploitative. Two parties might disagree about whether capitalism is exploitative, for example, because they disagree about whether productive assets ought to be distributed in an egalitarian manner, while agreeing that exploitation does require something like the conditions Roemer outlines. On the other hand, parties might agree about the theory just distributions that informs Roemer’s forms of exploitation while disagreeing about whether Roemer’s conditions are necessary and sufficient for exploitation.
