Description
Economic inequality is one of the most divisive issues of our time. Yet few would argue that poverty is not a greater evil than inequality itself. Poverty is suffering due to lack, not because others have more or less. So why do many people appear to be more distressed by the rich than by the poor? In this thought-provoking book, Harry Frankfurt presents a compelling response to those who believe that social justice should focus on reducing economic inequality. Instead, Frankfurt argues that our moral obligation is to eliminate poverty, ensuring everyone has enough to live a decent life. By focusing on poverty, we may reduce inequality as a side effect. Frankfurt's provocative ideas challenge cherished beliefs on both the left and right, promising to have a profound impact on one of the great debates of our time.
