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 areA? suspected of wasting funds, or engaging with corrupt regimes, or encouragingA? 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. 410 0$aThink now. 606 $aEconomic development$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aEconomic assistance$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aInternational trade$xMoral and ethical aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEconomic development$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aEconomic assistance$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aInternational trade$xMoral and ethical aspects. 676 $a174 700 $aWraight$b Christopher D.$0982319 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467802603321 996 $aThe ethics of trade and aid$92481770 997 $aUNINA
