 In contrast, non-relational forms of structural exploitation are conceptually distinct from transactional accounts. We surmise that ‘exploitation’ in ordinary use hews closer to the transactional model because accusations of exploitation often target discrete interactions between groups, such as the exploitation of sweatshop workers by multinational corporations; the exploitation of the elderly by con artists; or the exploitation of children by parents. However, note that the common use does not undermine the value of the non-relational conception as a tool for making moral and political critiques of social systems. Our point is merely that two different conceptions exist and should not be confused. The transactional model has, arguably received a greater amount of attention in contemporary moral and political philosophy and we will focus primarily on it in the sections that follow.
