Within the United States alone, almost fifteen percent of the
population lives in poverty. Ethics in an Age of Savage
Inequalities investigates what moral obligations the middle class
might have to the poor. While there are no simple ethical
prescriptions, the fact remains that many of us afford small
luxuries while others in the world struggle to live on less than a
dollar a day. James J. Winchester suggests that we can and should
give not only charity, but restitution to the poor. Looking at
extraction of minerals and the plight of service workers in the
United States among many other things, this book demonstrates how
the middle class benefits from the exploitation of the poor and
harms the environment in ways that threaten people in poverty.
Winchester argues that now is the time to take political action to
reduce the savage inequalities in this world. Of interest to anyone
involved in ethics, social justice, sociology, and even political
science, Ethics in an Age of Savage Inequalities explores the idea
that money is only a small part of what we owe to the poor.
