Wraight1st ed.London, [England] ;New York, New York :Continuum,2011.©20111 online resource (185 pages)Think Now1-4411-0951-X Includes bibliographical references and index.An unequal world -- The ethical imperative -- Compassion and justice -- Giving -- Trading -- A more equal world.International development is now more topical than ever. Billions of dollars have been given in grants or spent on the infrastructure of the development industry. The global aid and trade industry is gigantic and high-profile. It is also hugely controversial. Trade deals are accused of being 'unfair'. Aid agencies are suspected of wasting funds, or engaging with corrupt regimes, or encouraging dependency. Despite the vast amounts of political capital spent on international development, it remains unclear what works and what doesn't. Global inequality remains stark. Economic analysis can help resolve some of these issues. But some of the questions raised are of a more fundamental nature. They are issues of fairness, equity, right and wrong. The Ethics of Trade and Aid demonstrates how political philosophy provides us with insights often passed over in modern development jargon. Christopher Wraight scrutinises the trade and aid industry through the lens of philosophy and ultimately shows that a compassionate, rational and humane engagement with the global economy does hold the promise of a better, more equal life.Think now.Economic developmentMoral and ethical aspectsEconomic assistanceMoral and ethical aspectsInternational tradeMoral and ethical aspectsEconomic developmentMoral and ethical aspects.Economic assistanceMoral and ethical aspects.International tradeMoral and ethical aspects.174Wraight Christopher D.982319MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910795433903321The ethics of trade and aid3861043UNINA
