Book Overview
This book adds an ethics dimension to the debate and research about poverty, hunger, and globalization. Outstanding scholars and practitioners from several disciplines discuss what is needed for ethics to play a greater role in actions by governments, civil society, and the private sector to reduce poverty and hunger within the context of globalization. The book concludes that much of the rhetoric by policymakers is not followed by appropriate action. The book also concludes that a better understanding of the values underlying both public and private sector action towards the alleviation of poverty and hunger would lead to more enlightened policies and greater success in attempts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. Scholars and experienced practitioners from several disciplines discuss how to promote integration among ethics, economics, and policy.
