Communal Relationships Can Be Selfish and Give Rise to Exploitation
Communal Relationships Can Be Selfish and Give Rise to Exploitation
Margaret S. Clark describes her most underappreciated work: her research with Judson Mills on the distinction between communal and exchange relationships. In their studies, Clark and Mills argued that desire for mutual communal relationships normatively should lead a person to focus on what partners are doing for him/her. They have outlined how adoption of a communal norm sets the stage for distinctive types of exploitation that are violations of communal norms but arise in these relationships.
