Our world remains hugely unequal, with our place of birth continuing to exert a major influence on our opportunities. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this accessible book, leading political theorist Chris Armstrong engagingly examines the key moral and political questions raised by this stark global divide. Why, as a citizen of a relatively wealthy country, should you care if others have to make do with less? Do we have a moral duty to try to rectify this state of affairs? What does 'global justice' mean anyway - and why does it matter? Could we make our world a more just one even if we tried? Can you as an individual make a difference? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book powerfully demonstrates that global justice is something we should all be concerned about, and sketches a series of reforms that would make our divided world a fairer one. It will be essential introductory reading for students of global justice, activists and concerned citizens.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface vi \u003cp\u003e1 What is the Problem? 23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLiving in Poverty\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA World of Difference\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLocal Problems?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Why Should You Care? 42\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Globalization of Concern\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCharity, Justice and Rights\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Goal(s) of Global Justice: Reducing Poverty and Inequality\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMaking Sacrifices: Capacity and Contribution to the Problem\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 What Can Be Done? 66\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProgress in a Divided World\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIs Global Justice Feasible?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReforms\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat Can I Do?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 112\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 137\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Politics \u0026amp; government [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Politics \u0026amp; government\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Politics%20\u0026amp;%20government%20%5BJP%5D%22\"\u003eJP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52474980008216,"sku":"9781509531882","price":13.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509531882.jpg?v=1785802441","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/why-global-justice-matters-moral-progress-in-a-divided-world-paperback-softback-9781509531882","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
