Tim Hayward

Global Justice & Finance

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Can global justice be promoted by distributing money more equitably? This book casts new light on this question by considering what is presupposed about finance, and challenges the tradition of global justice theory that proposes modest reforms to the international institutional order as sufficient for achieving a more just world.

Autorenporträt

Tim Hayward is Professor of Environmental Political Theory at the University of Edinburgh. After completing a doctorate on human rights at the University of Sussex, he held positions in Italy and Wales before settling at the University of Edinburgh. Having written extensively on how environmental values might be integrated into social and political theory, his more recent work examines obstacles to political progress. The present study of the challenges presented by financialized capitalism has led to exploratory research into how populations are manipulated by propaganda into accepting policies that are not in their own best interests or those of justice, sustainability or peace.
