Write a critical response to the debate about price-gouging between Matt Zwolinski and Jeremy Snyder.

Length: 3300 words. If you are over 3300 words, you must edit it down. If you are under 2700 words, it’s possible that you are brilliantly concise. Or perhaps you haven’t put enough work into the paper.

Overview:

Your assignment is to write a critical response to the debate about price-gouging between Matt Zwolinski and Jeremy Snyder:

Matt Zwolinski “The Ethics of Price Gouging,” Business Ethics Quarterly 18, no. 3 (2008):347–78.
Jeremy Snyder “What’s the Matter with Price Gouging?” Business Ethics Quarterly 19, no. 2 (2009): 275–93.
Matt Zwolinski “Price-Gouging, Non-Worseness, and Distributive Justice,”
Business Ethics Quarterly 19, no. 2 (2009): 295–303.
Jeremy Snyder “Efficiency, Equity, and Price Gouging: A Response to Zwolinski,”
Business Ethics Quarterly 19, no. 2 (2009): 303–6.

Your response should both explain and extend / engage in the debate. That is to say, it should both provide an account of the main points of contention, and take a position, defend a thesis, either pro, con, or somewhere in between (unlike the Explanation of Argument assignment, which was purely explanatory).
