»The Just Price«

Projektbeschreibung

This project develops from my previous work on exploitation. It argues that the injustice of a market price is best understood as being due to prior curtailments of individuals’ rightful freedoms: that is, claims of unjust pricing are most coherently based upon counterfactual judgements concerning the price that would have been established had certain freedoms – of either the exploitee or some third party – not previously been curtailed. In the absence of those freedom-curtailing actions or policies, the maximum amount bid for whatever is being sold would be higher than it actually is. The model of just prices thereby deployed further implies fairly precise limitations on what can count as a just outcome of a bargaining process.
