Descripción
Sumario:Poverty violates fundamental human values through its impact on individuals and human environments. Poverty also goes against the core values of democratic societies. Lotter talks about poverty in ways that depict this devastating human condition clearly. He shows why inequalities associated with poverty require our serious moral concern. To eradicate poverty appropriately, shared ethical values must guide aid. In addition, a proper conception of justice can prevent poverty from occurring. Furthermore, we must re-imagine the role of the state to enable collective human responsibility for poverty's successful eradication. Impoverishing injustices of the distant past must also be rectified.
