Economic Policy and Human Rights presents a powerful critique of
three decades of neoliberal economic policies, assessed from the
perspective of human rights norms. In doing so, it brings together
two areas of thought and action that have hitherto been separate:
progressive economics concerned with promoting economic justice and
human development; and human rights analysis and advocacy.
Focussing on in-depth comparative case studies of the USA and
Mexico and looking at issues such as public expenditure, taxation
and international trade, the book shows that heterodox economic
analysis benefits greatly from a deeper understanding of a human
rights framework. This is something progressive economists have
often been skeptical of, regarding it as too deeply entrenched in
'Western' norms, discourses and agendas. Such a categorical
rejection is unwarranted. Instead, human rights norms can provide
an invaluable ethical and accountability framework, challenging a
narrow focus on efficiency and growth. A vital book for anyone
interested in human rights and harnessing economics to create a
better world.
