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. 606 $aPoor$zMexico 606 $aPoverty$zMexico 607 $aMexico$xEconomic conditions$y1994- 607 $aMexico$xSocial policy 615 0$aPoor 615 0$aPoverty 676 $a362.5 700 $aDieterlen$b Paulette$f1947-$01750838 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819188103321 996 $aPoverty$94185550 997 $aUNINA
