Imagine the following scenario. A person of clear mind and conscience voluntarily decides to sell their services to another person for very little reward (monetary or otherwise). While not explicitly identified as such, this arrangement might generally be considered exploitative. Using the reading from Robert Nozick, explain whether he would consider this arrangement just. Next, using the article by William Clare Roberts, explain how Karl Marx might understand this situation. Whose analysis do you find more compelling, and why?
[Helpful Hint: It does not matter what this service is. What matters is that both Nozick and Marx would agree that giving it for next to nothing can constitute, depending on how one looks at it, an exploitative relationship. The key issue here would be how Nozick and Marx each understand the term “voluntary” and what it means for their understanding of justice.]
