In Defense of Openness

Why Global Freedom Is the Humane Solution to Global Poverty

Beschreibung

In Defense of Openness stresses that that there is overwhelming evidence that economic rights and freedom are necessary for development, and that global redistribution tends to hurt more than it helps. This book offers a new approach to global justice: We don't need to "save" the poor. The poor will save themselves, if we would only get out of their way and let them.
