As part of a book symposium on Nicholas Vrousalis' Exploitation as Domination: What Makes Capitalism Unjust (2023), S.M. Love argues that only the Kantian view can justify Vrousalis’ argument for the injustice of exploitation, and gives a more detailed account of the injustice of domination within the Kantian framework.

It is common to find causal statements in economics journals. In a recent article, for example, Babina et al. claim that “negative federal funding shocks reduce high-tech entrepreneurship and publications but increase patenting” (2023, 1). Unfortunately, t he actual meaning of ‘cause’ is not always explicitly spelled out. What does ‘cause’ mean in these statements? Do they connote the same meaning? More concretely, what do economists mean when they say X causes Y ? These questions motivate Mariusz Ma-ziarz’s i ntriguing book on causality. Based on a previous systematic literature analysis

This book characterizes the EU in more than one way. The EU allegedly exemplifies inter alia economic constitutionalism, benign despotism, welfare corporatism, executive federalism, technocratic managerialism, and authoritarian populism. This might suggest that the author prioritizes flowery description over analytical precision. Not so, as the central claim that the EU should first and foremost be characterized by the first two words of the title, ‘ authoritarian liberalism ’ , remains clear throughout. As such, the argument has two components. First, the name of the game in the EU — and previously in the European Economic Community — is liber-alism. Second, this liberalism is authoritarian. Wilkinson’s aim is to “open the space to develop critical theories of European integration, not as some form of external constraint, or experiment gone awry” (viii), but as a project destined to become what the title of the book claims it is. He contrasts himself with academics who view the EU as a ‘ sacred object ’ that is not without flaws but also not inherently authoritarian. The book develops the argument in four parts.

As part of a book symposium on Nicholas Vrousalis' Exploitation as Domination: What Makes Capitalism Unjust (2023), Gulzaar Barn suggests that while Vrousalis' account provides a compelling story of why capitalist labour relations are unjustly exploitative, difficulties arise in its application to other cases such as surrogacy.
