Markets in women's sexual labor

Article Abstract:

Prostitution is wrong because it contributes to sex discrimination against women. The economic and essentialist arguments against prostitution are less compelling, however. The economic approach maintains that prostitution is wrong because it is inefficient or does not maximize welfare, while the essentialist approach holds that the commodification of sex is inherently wrong. The egalitarian approach looks at how prostitution contributes to gender inequality, and also suggests that under the current social conditions, the legal ban on prostitution tends to exacerbate its negative effects. Prostitution should be regulated to promote autonomy for women.

Equality, adequacy, and education for citizenship

Article Abstract:

An argument is presented that civic equality is actually internal to the idea of educational adequacy for a democratic society. It challenges the sharp contrast drawn between adequacy and equality as goals of educational reform and offers reasons in support of an egalitarian conception of adequacy.
