Poverty is one of the main problems concerning economics, political philosophy, and ethics. It is an ethical problem because of its relationship with self-esteem. Since poverty is intimately related to social policies, the philosophy of poverty must consider the distribution criteria used to attend to people in situations of extreme poverty. This would involve attention to their needs, preferences, capabilities and "well-being" rights. The book considers social policies applied to poverty, and their occasional abuse of utilitarian instruments. Many are implemented without considering cultural differences, including varying patterns of conduct in diverse communities. Equality also matters. Since poverty and inequality are not the same, the study of the latter allows us to target groups found in the lowest levels of "the playing field". 410 0$aRodopi Philosophical Studies ;$v6. 517 3 $aA Philosophical Approach 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aEquality 606 $aPoor$zMexico 606 $aPoverty$zMexico 606 $aPoverty 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aEquality. 615 0$aPoor 615 0$aPoverty 615 0$aPoverty. 676 $a362.5 700 $aDieterlen$b Paulette$01562698 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777520703321 996 $aPoverty$93830516 997 $aUNINA
