¿No one has written with more penetrating skepticism about the history of human rights.¿
¿Adam Kirsch, Wall Street Journal
¿Moyn breaks new ground in examining the relationship between human rights and economic fairness.¿
¿George Soros
The age of human rights has been kindest to the rich. While state violations of political rights have garnered unprecedented attention in recent decades, a commitment to material equality has quietly disappeared. In its place, economic liberalization has emerged as the dominant force. In this provocative book, Samuel Moyn considers how and why we chose to make human rights our highest ideals while simultaneously neglecting the demands of broader social and economic justice.
Moyn places the human rights movement in relation to this disturbing shift and explores why the rise of human rights has occurred alongside exploding inequality.
¿Moyn asks whether human-rights theorists and advocates, in the quest to make the world better for all, have actually helped to make things worse¿ Sure to provoke a wider discussion.¿
¿Adam Kirsch, Wall Street Journal
¿A sharpening interrogation of the liberal order and the institutions of global governance created by, and arguably for, Pax Americanä Consistently bracing.¿
¿Pankaj Mishra, London Review of Books
¿Moyn suggests that our current vocabularies of global justice¿above all our belief in the emancipatory potential of human rights¿need to be discarded if we are work to make our vastly unequal world more equal¿ [A] tour de force.¿
¿Los Angeles Review of Books

paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
