Theories of exploitation have provided a critical category in social theory as central issues in both liberalism and Marxism. Going beyond the traditional contention between liberal and Marxist theorists, this collection of original essays provides a thorough introduction to the main themes in modern notions of exploitation and explores theories about the circumstances in which exploitation occurs. The contributors analyze some of the classic theorists, such as the writers of the Scottish Enlightenment, the ""Ricardian Socialists,"" mutualists, and Marx. They bring forward the concerns of these theorists by contrasting contemporary liberal theories, and theories based on the idea that socialism or communism is ethically superior to capitalism. Comprehensive, cogent, and concise, this valuable volume will be essential reading for theorists (and their students) in both sociology and political science.
