My question was simple...is it ethical to exploit desperate people. Even if these people voluntrarly amd free willungly accets the sweathop jobs. Yes or no?
Is it ethical to deny people employment opportunities to maintain protectionist trade relations? Is it ethical to exploit the consumer by only allowing them to buy local produce, at greater expense.
Or should we separate ethics and economics and address them individually?
Those examples arent issues of ethics. I would say things like child labor laws, workers rights are issues of ethics.
Thats why i don't buy the libertarian ideal of "free market is always right". They ignore the existence of power in reality . Libertarians can say people cant be exploited because free will. Common sense says the opposite. People get scammed or exploited all the time.
