Ethics of Assistance Morality and the Distant Needy

The essays in this volume present the latest ideas of some of the leading moral and political philosophers of our time on the topic of assisting the foreign poor: the political responsibility of governments of affluent countries to relieve poverty abroad and the personal responsibility of individuals to assist the distant needy. This provocative and timely volume will interest scholars in ethics, political philosophy, political theory, international law and development economics, as well as policy makers, aid agencies, and general readers interested in the moral dimensions of poverty and affluence.Chatterjee, Deen K. is the author of 'Ethics of Assistance Morality and the Distant Needy' with ISBN 9780521820424 and ISBN 0521820421.
