    We model political competition as a contest between parties that represent constituents, and which announce policies in a two-dimensional policy space; the first dimension concerns the degree of redistribution, and the second, the race or immigration issue. Given the distribution of voter preferences on this space, a political equilibrium is determined. We study the effect that racist or anti-immigrant preferences in the polity have on equilibriu…

    Liberal political philosophy defends great inequality of economic outcome on the basis that people own themselves and are entitled to establish private property in the external world by virtue of self-ownership. Contemporary nonlibertarian political philosophers, such as John Rawls and Ronald Dworkin, achieve their relatively egalitarian conclusions by denying self-ownership as a premise.

    This paper develops the Marxian theory of value and exploitation for an economy where workers are exploited at different rates due to discrimi nation which is independent of their productivity. The purpose of the paper is to begin an analysis of the formal structure underlying Marxian concepts of dis crimination and labor market segmentation. First, the classical Marxian theory of exploitation is shown to hold for the model. Then, the concept of …
