Proximate cause

Recent debates about economic history make a distinction between the proximate causes, which mainly focus on the technology, investment and production, and deeper causes of the economic development, which are increasingly seen as more crucial determinants of economic development and of long-term differences in GDP per capita between countries. This latter puts forward…

Because of the enormity of the task of constructing even a minimally just world, it seems reasonable to suppose that one of the requirements for the designation of moral agents in international politics is that of clarity and therefore parsimony. To avoid confusion and establish real responsibility, we should, if possible, locate moral agents of last resort to whom we can point decisively and expect to act.…
