&gt;While I agree with many of your points, and certainly there are many people who get exploited. But overall, if employers and employees are agreeing to mutual employment terms without coercion, then by definition it is not exploitation.<p>Right. Employers and employees agree to mutual employment terms without coercion. That is the world we live in. Also, consumers make rational choices to maximize their happiness, advertising exists to inform people of products and give them more information to rationally make decisions, and competition between rival corporations drives down prices and makes everything better for consumers. Employees can negotiate better wages because if they don&#x27;t like it at one job, they can leave and find another employer who will face no repercussions for hiring them.<p>When things like this <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Foxconn_suicides" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Foxconn_suicides</a> or this <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;2012_Dhaka_fire" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;2012_Dhaka_fire</a> happen, it&#x27;s not exploitation. It&#x27;s just employers and employees mutually agreeing to the terms of employment.
