It briefly discusses how these concepts appear in the literature (the first two are prominent in Roemer’s classical work), and then examines how these forms of exploitation are related and how they can occur.Keywordsexploitation, unequal exchange, RoemerRésuméCe document propose quatre concepts d’exploitation qui capturent les usages courants du mot dans les interactions sociales: un avantage indu, l’échange inégal, l’utilisation de personnes comme des moyens, les passagers clandestins. Il aborde brièvement la façon dont ces concepts apparaissent dans la littérature (les deux premiers sont au centre de l’oeuvre classique de Roemer), puis examine comment ces formes d’exploitation sont liées et comment elles peuvent se produire.Mots-clésexploitation, échange inégal, RoemerDownload this working-paper / Télécharger ce Working Paper
