Poverty Eradication and Human Rights

Abstract

There is a view that slavery could be abolished only when the economics of slavery lost out to the economics of wage labor in terms of productivity and cost, and the support for the call for abolishing slavery gathered momentum without much effective opposition from the vested interests. In a similar vein, it can be argued that the world economy today has developed sufficiently so that it is not only possible to abolish poverty everywhere, but also to benefit everyone through such abolition by expanding markets and improving the quality of human capital.
