About this product

Product Information

In 1895 an English farmer diverted the course of a stream that was flowing through his land, thereby cutting off the supply to the water reservoir of the neighboring community. The courts established that it had been his purpose to "injure the plaintiffs by carrying off the water and to compel them to buy him off." Regardless of what the law says, most people will feel that the farmer's intentions were morally unjust; he was trying to abuse his property rights in order to take advantage of others. Yet, as Gijs van Donselaar explains, the major traditions in the theory of economic justice, both from the libertarian right and from the egalitarian left, have failed to appreciate the moral objection to exploitative behavior that this case displays. Those traditions entertain radically opposed views on how private property should be distributed, but they do not consider the legitimacy of constraints on the exercise of property rights--however they are distributed. The second part of the book demonstrates how this failure clears the way for a recent egalitarian argument, gaining in popularity, for a so-called unconditional basic income. If all have an initial right to an equal share of the resources of the world, then it soon seems to follow that all have a right to an equal share of the value of the resources of the world, which could be cashed in as a labor-free income. That inference is only valid if moral behavior similar to that of the farmer is tolerated. Van Donselaar argues that, ultimately, a confusion about the nature and value of freedom of choice is responsible for the odd conception of private rights in resources that would justify exploitation.

Reviews
"The Right to Exploit is a penetrating study of the ways in which several important and influential accounts of justice permit people to benefit from exploitative relations with others. It is an important and elegantly written book, one surely to give rise to considerable controversy. Gijs vanDonselaar develops a penetrating study of parasitic or exploitative relations, one with far-reaching implications." --Christopher Morris, University of Maryland, "This is an exceptionally well-written book: both stylish and pursued at an unrelentingly high level of argument." - Notre Dame Philsophical Reviews, "This is an exceptionally well-written book: both stylish and pursued at an unrelentingly high level of argument." -Notre Dame Philsophical Reviews, "I have read this book several times, highlighted portions, folded over the pages, and made many notes in the margins. I found it to be the most challenging criticism of basic income that I have yet had to deal with." --Karl Widerquist, University of Reading
