Global Poverty and Individual Responsibility

Informationen zum Autor Abigail Gosselin is assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy at Regis University. Klappentext This book considers what responsibilities affluent individuals have toward global poverty, given that global poverty is a problem with structural, political causes, and one that generally requires collective action. By looking at the intersection of moral, political, and legal philosophy, this book gives a pluralistic and differentiated account of individual duties based on a person's moral agency, her roles within collective groups (including her occupational and civic roles), and her institutional identities as citizen and consumer.
