Efficiency, Equity, and Price Gouging: A Response to Zwolinski
本文回应兹沃林斯基关于价格欺诈的观点,主张效率是实现公平获取基本生活必需品的工具而非最终目标,并反驳了“非恶化”主张。
ABSTRACT: In this response, I reiterate my argument that price gouging undercuts the goal of equity in access to essential goods whereas Zwolinski emphasizes the importance of the efficient provision of essential goods above all other goals. I agree that the efficient provision of essential goods is important as I argue for the goal of equitable access to sufficient of the goods essential to living a minimally flourishing human life. However, efficiency is a means to this goal rather than the end itself. Finally, I offer additional arguments against the non-worseness claim.
