This paper describes the author’s three reflections on the concept of exploitation. The first one is concerned with the Fundamental Marxian Theorem. It is shown that exploitation as defined in a usual way exists irrespective of whether profits are positive or negative, so long as workers do not save and an extended productiveness condition is met. The second reflection deals with the concept of exploitation in models with heterogeneous labour. We may consider the rates of exploitation separately for individual type of labour, or the common rate of exploitation based upon abstract labour, fusing heterogeneity into one abstract category. Some features of these two concepts are explained. In the third one, I argue that the unemployed should be counted as exploited, and thus present some reasons why the unemployed are exploited, and a simple way to define the rate of exploitation for a capitalist system as a whole.
