As anti-globalization protests show, the public is searching for ways to explain and rethink material inequity between developed democracies and those across the development divide. This work provides a strategy for analyzing these issues. It examines the moral grounds for liberalism and democracy.A timely assessment of liberal, rights-based social morality from the perspective of an alternative, needs-based system.
"The book's strength lies in the synthesis of three components - the historic, the theoretical, and the economic - into a coherent argument. This is a substantial achievement." Nick Dyer-Witheford, University of Western Ontario "Noonan's thesis advances a paradigm shift that will be very useful to critics of liberal democracy and capitalist economy. It's particularly helpful how he weaves theoretical discussions with historical examples to keep his readers engaged!" Mecke Nagel, SUNY Cortland
