Posted: July 14, 2021 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a commentSweatshop Regulations and Ex Ante Contractualism, by Michael Kates
Abstract:
Kuyumcuoglu argues that defenders of sweatshop regulations should reject consequentialism and accept an ex ante interpretation of contractualism instead. In this Commentary I show that Kuyumcuoglu’s argument doesn’t succeed. Defenders of sweatshops shouldn’t become ex ante contractualists because its advantages on this issue are more apparent than real.
