Bericht
From the reviews:
"The book attempts to assess the many ethical and practical consequences of this markedly unequal division of the world's resources. ... The encyclopedia deals at length with some of the most profound ethical and political questions of our time ... . for readers whose moral or political views are not prescribed for them by an all-powerful state or an all-embracing religion, this substantial and penetrating book will provide valuable guidance on matters of vital importance to the world." (K. C. Fraser, Reference Reviews, Vol. 26 (7), 2012)
