Should Price Gouging Be Regulated? (Issue 9)
YES: Jeremy Snyder, from “What’s the Matter with Price Gouging?” Business Ethics Quarterly (vol. 19, no. 2, April 2009)
NO: Matt Zwolinski, from “Price Gouging, Non-Worseness, and Distributive Justice,” Business Ethics Quarterly (vol. 19, 2, April 2009)
ISSUE SUMMARY
YES: Jeremy Snyder contends that price gouging conflicts with the goal of equitable access to goods essential to a minimally flourishing human life. Efficient provision of essential goods is not sufficient to prevent serious inequities. Regulations are needed for equitable access.
NO: Matt Zwolinski argues that price gouging can be morally permissible, even though this does not mean that price gougers are morally virtuous. Considerations of the availability of institutional alternatives and distributive justice may render price gouging morally acceptable. In any case, regulations cannot be expected to resolve the moral issues more satisfactorily than the market itself.
