Description
Human rights have long been touted as a universal ideal, yet in practice they have often served to mask deeper inequalities. In this thought-provoking book, Samuel Moyn examines the relationship between human rights and economic fairness, revealing how the pursuit of material equality has been quietly neglected. Moyn explores how the rise of human rights has coincided with growing inequality, raising questions about whether our current vocabularies of global justice are truly effective in addressing these disparities. A bracing interrogation of the liberal order and its institutions, this book challenges readers to consider whether our highest ideals are being used to justify a more unequal world. By shedding light on the complex history and politics of human rights, Moyn offers a nuanced critique of the dominant forces shaping our global governance. This is a timely and important work that will spark debate and encourage readers to think critically about the role of human rights in our increasingly unequal world.
