Sommario/riassunto |
|
Is economic development the best hope for the worlds poor? This volume adds a philosophical dimension to the debate about this question. The author argues in favour of replacing quantitative assessments of wealth and poverty with a qualitative account of the ways in which human lives can be enriched or impoverished. |
