Many of the critics actually agree with Pogge's cosmopolitan premises and concurrently seek to refine his theory. This is a very worthwhile exercise, since both the originality of Pogge's views on world poverty and the severity of poverty deserve elaboration and refinement.\"\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eEthical Perspectives\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cp\u003e\"Thomas Pogge is part angry prophet, denouncing severe injustice, and part analytic philosopher, constructing original arguments. Jaggar's imaginatively conceived collection of critics combines some of the best leading scholars with diverse fresh voices, yielding a variegated, vigorous and valuable debate about responsibility for world poverty that carries the analysis significantly forward.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eHenry Shue, University of Oxford\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Thomas Pogge argues that extreme poverty is unjustly maintained by institutional means, and could be ended at marginal cost. His claims about the causes, remedies and injustice of the present global order are powerfully criticized in this collection, and his critics are powerfully taken to task: necessary reading for thinking about global justice.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eOnora O'Neill, University of Cambridge\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"No philosopher has done more than Thomas Pogge to explain what makes the persistence of global poverty so grave an injustice and no other explanation has provoked such a diverse and interesting array of responses. This very well-edited volume, containing commissioned essays by a distinguished group of critics and a powerful reply by Pogge, is an invaluable resource for anyone attempting to assess his work and to understand how philosophy can illuminate debates about global poverty.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAndrew Williams, ICREA and Pompeu Fabra University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Is global poverty the result of a deeply unjust institutional order we have helped to impose? Are there modest and feasible institutional reforms that could eradicate extreme poverty? In Allison Jaggar's fine volume Thomas Pogge's affirmative answers to these questions receive sustained scrutiny from a distinguished group of philosophers. The result is essential reading for those working on justice across borders.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePaula Casal, University of Reading\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eAlison M.
