Description
Severe poverty affects 2.5 billion people worldwide, resulting in 18 million deaths annually, including over 10 million children under five.
The global economic order perpetuates this catastrophe despite the fact that just 1 percent of high-income countries' national incomes would be sufficient to end severe poverty worldwide.
Thomas Pogge argues that our moral and economic theories have contributed to this disconnect, and offers a modest standard of global economic justice and practical proposals for reforming the current system.
