This paper develops and defends an account of exploitation that is based on the kindred ideas of vulnerability and power, and argues against accounts of exploitation based on distributive justice. One strand of the argument consists in showing that a universal basic income will not normally be a sufficient condition for the removal of exploitation thus conceived (whether or not it is a necessary condition).
