Do we have moral duties to people in distant parts of the world? If
so, how demanding are these duties? And how can they be reconciled
with our obligations to fellow citizens? Every year, millions of
people die from poverty-related causes while countless others are
forced to flee their homes to escape from war and oppression. At
the same time, many of us live comfortably in safe and prosperous
democracies. Yet our lives are bound up with those of the poor and
dispossessed in multiple ways: our clothes are manufactured in
Asian sweatshops; the oil that fuels our cars is purchased from
African and Middle Eastern dictators; and our consumer lifestyles
generate environmental changes that threaten Bangladeshi peasants
with drought and famine. These facts force us to re-evaluate our
conduct and to ask whether we must do more for those who have less.
Helping students to grapple with big questions surrounding justice,
human rights, and equality, this comprehensive yet accessible
textbook features chapters on a variety of pressing issues such as
immigration, international trade, war, and climate change. Suitable
for undergraduate and graduate students alike, the book also serves
as a philosophical primer for politicians, activists, and anyone
else who cares about justice.
