It demonstrates why a ‘deparochialised’ account of global justice is necessary and how it provides a richer, more sophisticated understanding of what global justice requires today.” --Simon Caney, Professor, Department of Politics & International Studies, University of Warwick “Taking a critical look at the global justice debate, and acknowledging inequalities within India, this excellent work relentlessly draws attention to the many faces of inequality. Inequality tracks the heels of all societies, global and local. Theorists need to address a double malaise. Wani raises provocative questions about existing theories. This is the strength of this remarkable book.” --Neera Chandhoke, Former Professor, Department of Political Science, University of Delhi This book offers a deparochial account of global justice and addresses disenchantment stemming from its West-centricity and provincial theoretical formulations. As the recurring global poverty debate restricts the duties of alleviating poverty and inequality to the developed world, this book attempts to broaden the spectrum of duties to the superrich of the developing world. Drawing from the case study of India’s superrich as an exemplar of the potent agency of rising powers, the book examines the structural relationship between unbridled affluence and the (un)realisation of the human rights of the poor. It contends that India’s superrich, like their counterparts in other powerful developing countries, both contribute as well as benefit from the highly decentralised global economic order that (re)produces affluence of the few and deprivation of the many within these countries. In doing so, this book argues that the superrich have a positive duty to alleviate poverty and reduce inequality beyond their free-standing moral responsibility for philanthropy.
