In this paper, I shall analyze Thomas Pogge’s suggestion that, insofar as the normative baseline of basic human rights is violated, trade agreements among developed and developing countries usually involve coercion. I will argue that his argument, as presented, is not compelling enough to make the case for coercion. I propose, instead, that we should understand trade agreements as cases of mutually advantageous exploitation.
