    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Instrumentalization of vulnerability is a necessary condition for wrongful exploitation
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Instrumentalization of vulnerability is not a sufficient condition for wrongful exploitation
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Wrongful exploitation obtains only when instrumentalization of vulnerability occurs in a manner involving domination
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Wertheimer's baseline account holds that exploitation is wrongful when one party gains through a transaction that falls below a fair market or hypothetical consent standard.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.This consent-based wrong obtains even in transactions between equals with no vulnerability instrumentalized and no domination exercised.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Therefore domination is not a necessary condition for wrongful exploitation, contra the conjunctive requirement the claim asserts.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Exploitation can be wrongful solely through unfair distribution of surplus value, without any instrumentalization of vulnerability (Roemer 1982).
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A purely structural account of exploitation—where unjust benefit-extraction suffices for wrongfulness—makes domination and vulnerability conditions explanatorily redundant.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    A third analytical Marxist account treats the instrumentalization of vulnerability as a necessary but not sufficient condition for wrongful exploitation. The additional condition for exploitation to obtain is that this instrumentalization of vulnerability occurs in a manner which involves domination. (This model is suggested in some of Wood’s writings on exploitation (1972, 2014), as well as in work by Vrousalis (2013, 2016).)
