A Common Good Approach to Structural Forms of Poverty
Keywords:
Development Ethics, Multidimensional poverty, Community based development programs, Common good approach to developmentAbstract
This article claims that structural forms of poverty are better understood not from the perspective of individual based statistics but from a lack of a specific set of common goods. The meaning and value given by a society to this set is therefore crucial and points toward the cultural and ethical elements of poverty. I will further argue that this approach may help identify the key elements of structural forms of poverty, that is, the features controlling the negative dynamic of wicked social subsystems.
