Individuals | Pogge | Gaus I 128 Individuals/Pogge/Gaus/Mack: Pogge: (...) global redistribution is required to compensate for harms done, as well as to satisfy a version of the Lockean proviso (2002(1): ch. 8; compare Steiner, 1994(2): ch. 8). >Institutions/Pogge, >Libertarianism/Pogge, >Rights/Pogge, >Egalitarianism/Gaus. GausVsPogge: Note how this argument depends on the idea that there exists an overall global system which is to be the object of our evaluation (rather than, say individual actions), that this system is coercively imposed on the poor, that as a consequence of this system the poor are harmed, and that each one of us is 'deeply implicated' in the harm perpetrated by the system (2002(1): 142). Individuals/libertyGausVsPogge: it is important here to note, though, the way that the argument seeks to avoid the normative individualism of the liberty tradition (...). The idea that there exists an all-encompassing system in which all participate - it is almost impossible to opt out - and so we are all responsible for the results of the system, makes each individual responsible for all Gaus I 129 the results of 'the global system', which are almost solely the results of other people's actions and decisions. 1.

Libertarianism | Pogge | Gaus I 128 Libertarianism/rights/harm/Pogge/Gaus/Mack: (... ) a (...) 'leftward' (statist) push comes from attempts to widen the concept of harm, such that almost any economic activity constitutes a harm to others. Cf. >Property/Hillel Steiner, >Jobs/Van Parijs, >Egalitarianism/Gaus. Thomas Pogge (2002)(1) has recently argued along these lines. Pogge builds his case on what looks like the liberty tradition's understanding of negative rights, in particular the right not to be harmed (...). PoggeVsLibertarianism: However, he argues that 'simple libertarianism' is flawed because it fails to appreciate how institutions create harm (2002: 172). In particular, Pogge insists that the imposition of the 'global economic order' causes harm: it 'engenders war, torture and starvation' (2002(1): 173), and so anyone who participates in that order is contributing to injustice (2002(1): 211). Indeed, all participants help starve the poor (2002(1): 214). Egalitarianism: Thus global redistribution is required to compensate for harms done, as well as to satisfy a version of the Lockean proviso (2002(1): ch. 8; compare Steiner, 1994(2): ch. 8). GausVsPogge: Note how this argument depends on the idea that there exists an overall global system which is to be the object of our evaluation (rather than, say individual actions), that this system is coercively imposed on the poor, that as a consequence of this system the poor are harmed, and that each one of us is 'deeply implicated' in the harm perpetrated by the system (2002(1): 142).
