| Summary |
"What would a fair or just global economy look like? Economic Justice in an Unfair World seeks to answer that question by presenting an argument that emphasizes economic relations among states." "The book provides a market-oriented focus, arguing that a just international economy would be one that is inclusive, participatory, and welfare-enhancing for all states. Rejecting radical redistribution schemes between rich and poor, Ethan Kapstein asserts that a politically feasible approach to international economic justice would emphasize free trade and limited flows of foreign assistance in order to help countries exercise their comparative advantage." "Kapstein also addresses justice in labor, migration, and investment, in each case defending an approach that concentrates on nation-states and their unique social compacts. Clearly written for all those with a stake in contemporary debates over poverty reduction and development, the book provides an analysis of what the international community can reasonably do to build a global economy that works to the advantage of every nation."--BOOK JACKET |
