This book explores the nature of moral responsibilities of affluent
individuals in the developed world, addressing global poverty and
arguments that philosophers have offered for having these
responsibilities. The first type of argument grounds
responsibilities in the ability to avert serious suffering by
taking on some cost. The second argument seeks to ground
responsibilities in the fact that the affluent are contributing to
such poverty. The authors criticise many of the claims advanced by
those who seek to ground stringent responsibilities to the poor by
invoking these two types of arguments. It does not follow from this
that the affluent are meeting responsibilities to the poor. The
book argues that while people are not ordinarily required to make
large sacrifices in assisting others in severe need, they are
required to incur moderate costs to do so. If the affluent fail
consistently to meet standards, this fact can substantially
increase the costs they are required to bear in order to address
it.
