This new edition highlights current and recent developments in the field, exploring themes familiar to young scholars. It delves into the impact of globalization and neoliberal capitalism on human rights, discussing key concepts such as dignity, security, and well-being. The book examines major works by prominent economists, including Thomas Piketty and Joseph Stiglitz, as well as significant global events like the UN Sustainable Development Summit in 2015 and the Paris Climate Conference (COP21).
