Human Rights And Th E Age Of Inequality | Exercise With Summary | Grade 12 | English
0Summary of "Human Rights and the Age of Inequality" by Samuel Moyn in 400 words:
The book argues that the human rights movement has ignored the issue of economic inequality. Moyn traces the history of human rights from the French Revolution to the present day. He argues that the early human rights movement was focused on protecting the rights of the individual from the state. However, in the 20th century, the human rights movement began to focus on protecting the rights of the poor and disadvantaged. Moyn argues that this shift in focus was a mistake because it led the human rights movement to neglect the issue of economic inequality.
Moyn argues that economic inequality is the root cause of many of the world's problems, such as poverty, crime, and social unrest. He says that the human rights movement must focus on addressing economic inequality if it wants to be effective in promoting human rights.
