The Political Economy of Basic Human Needs by Bruce Edward Moon Pdf

This volume reflects a new emphasis in development economics on conditions that promote the realization of human potential. Moon defines development goals as attainment of basic needs and the reduction of absolute poverty. He evaluates the effects of the state and political system, as well as the role of the military in relation to these goals, and makes a careful distinction between absolute poverty of basic-needs deprivation and the relative poverty associated with income inequality. Asserting that "the normative case for concern with the poor is unassailable, universal, and compelling," the author insists that "the provision of basic needs may be necessary for rapid growth." The volume includes a discussion of methodological premises in an appendix. ISBN 0-8014-2448-8: $45.00.

Heat, Greed and Human Need by Ian Gough Pdf

This book builds an essential bridge between climate change and social policy. Combining ethics and human need theory with political economy and climate science, it offers a long-term, interdisciplinary analysis of the prospects for sustainable development and social justice. Beyond ‘green growth’ (which assumes an unprecedented rise in the emissions efficiency of production) it envisages two further policy stages vital for rich countries: a progressive ‘recomposition’ of consumption, and a post-growth ceiling on demand. An essential resource for scholars and policymakers.

A Theory of Human Need by Len Doyal,Ian Gough Pdf

Rejecting fashionable subjectivist and cultural relativist approaches, this important book argues that human beings have universal and objective needs for health and autonomy and a right to their optimal satisfaction. The authors develop a system of social indicators to show what such optimization would mean in practice and assess the records of a wide range of developed and underdeveloped economies in meeting their citizens' needs.

Basic Needs by Paul Streeten Pdf

The paper raises some of the unsettled and controversial questions in the basic needs debate. Among them are: Who determines what needs are basic? What substance can be given to the slogan "participation" which, together with adequate income and well designed public services contains the essence of basic needs? What are the politics of basic needs? Is it a revolutionary or a conservative approach? What is the relation between meeting basic needs as an end in itself and as a means to raise labor productivity? Why are humanitarians and human capital school adherents at loggerheads? How should international support for a basic needs strategy be mobilized? And what is the empirical relation between poverty eradication and reducing income inequalities?

The Case for Universal Basic Services by Anna Coote,Andrew Percy Pdf

The idea that healthcare and education should be provided as universal public services to all who need them is widely accepted. But why leave it there? Why not expand it to more of life’s essentials? In their bold new book, Anna Coote and Andrew Percy argue that this transformational new policy – Universal Basic Services – is exactly what we need to save our societies and our planet. The old argument that free markets and individual choice are the best way to solve pressing problems of poverty, inequality and environmental degradation has led us to catastrophe, and must be abandoned. The authors show that expanding the principle of collective universal service provision to everyday essentials like transport, childcare and housing is not only the best way of tackling many of the biggest problems facing the contemporary world: it’s also efficient, practical and affordable. Anyone who cares about fighting for a fairer, greener and more democratic world should read this book.

The Political Philosophy of Needs by Lawrence A. Hamilton Pdf

This ambitious and lively book argues for a rehabilitation of the concept of 'human needs' as central to politics and political theory. Contemporary political philosophy has focused on issues of justice and welfare to the exclusion of the important issues of political participation, democratic sovereignty, and the satisfaction of human needs, and this has had a deleterious effect on political practice. Lawrence Hamilton develops a compelling positive conception of human needs: the evaluation of needs must be located within a more general analysis of institutions, but can in turn help to justify forms of coercive authority that are directed toward the transformation of political and social institutions and practices. His argument is animated throughout by provocative and original discussions of topics such as autonomy, recognition, rights, civil society, liberalism and democracy, and will interest a wide range of readers in political and social philosophy, political theory, law, development and policy.
