Fairness in Practice

A Social Contract for a Global Economy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

What would it be for the global economy to be fair? This book argues that "structural equity" in an international practice of market reliance gives rise to significant egalitarian responsibilities. These require robust social insurance, capital controls, policy flexibility for developing countries, and more.
