Exploitation and Austrian Economics

Exploitation and Austrian Economics

⋅

I’ve seen Austrian economists, and fans of Austrian economics, argue many times against the position that capitalism is exploitative, in the following sense or something like it: Under capitalism, business owners unfairly gain value at workers’ expense. I’ll call this “Marxian exploitation” for short. The Austrian arguments seem to be variants of three basic arguments: Market exchanges are necessarily voluntary and mutually beneficial. Capitalism consists of market exchanges. Nothing that is voluntary and mutually beneficial can be exploitative. […]

The Audition Trap

⋅

When I write something controversial, I expect blowback. My recent posts about Justice Barrett were no exception. I received the usual smattering of criticisms, telling me that I have no business being a law professor and that I am an embarrassment. Another burner email account urged me to kill myself by swallowing cyanide. But one charge, though predictable, was especially misguided: that I write what I write as part of some “audition” for some other position. This charge […]

Dems and Blob Together

If the Jacobins of Paris, 1794, had not been bum-rushed to the “national razor,” perhaps they would have acted-out as clownishly in defeat as America’s Democratic Party does right now after their election debacle of 2024. Imagine Robespierre in Harlequin drag riding backwards on a goat over the Pont Neuf to do handsprings and a juggling act in the Parvis de Notre-Dame. Alas, foiled by the guillotine. . . .
