Exploitation as Domination

Exploitation as Domination by Nicholas Vrousalis challenges how we think about labor, power, and injustice in modern capitalism. This rigorous, readable study reframes exploitation not merely as unfair exchange, but as a distinctive form of domination that shapes workplaces, legal institutions, and everyday lives across the United Kingdom, United States, Europe and beyond.

Vrousalis combines historical scholarship with sharp philosophical analysis to trace the roots of exploitation in political economy and Marxist thought while answering contemporary critics. Readers will find careful argumentation, close readings of classical texts, and clear examples that illuminate complex issues—making the book suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduate seminars, scholars, and engaged general readers.

What sets this work apart is its practical relevance: it explains why exploitation matters for debates about labor law, policy, and social movements, and offers conceptual tools for diagnosing power imbalances in 21st-century workplaces. Whether you’re studying political philosophy, social theory, or labor studies, Vrousalis’s account equips you to rethink inequality with intellectual clarity and moral urgency.

A compelling mix of scholarship and accessibility, Exploitation as Domination is an essential addition to any bookshelf focused on social justice, political economy, or labor rights. Ideal for readers in the UK, US, Europe, Australia and worldwide, this book invites reflection and action—order your copy today to deepen your understanding of exploitation and its alternatives.
