Dr. Teresa Whitaker:

I was a student of political science in Trinity College. One of the questions in my final year examinations was: "Is prostitution alienation of labour under industrial capitalism?". I was very taken aback by that because I certainly was not thinking of prostitution, but of the alienation of labour under industrial capitalism and exploitation. One must define what one means by "exploitation". Who is being exploited? Is it the person who gives the money or the person who gets the money?
