Description

Global Inequality Matters takes seriously the presumption stated in international human rights documents that all persons possess inherent dignity.

The book argues on that basis, and an account of justice as comprising associative duties, that the requirements of global distributive justice condemn existing global inequality.

Although recognizing the importance of political equality within the state, the book rejects accounts of egalitarian distributive justice that limit its application to the state.

It applies this perspective to several issues, including immigration controls, second language instruction, international labor codes, protectionism, climate change mitigation, and institutions of global taxation.
