Neoliberal order(describes the system that critics say these proposals accept rather than challenge)

A contemporary philosopher who studies democracy, ethics, and global justice, and has also analyzed Arendt's work critically.
Structurally produces poverty(explains how poverty happens according to the critics)

Thomas Pogge(his Global Resources Dividend is being cited as an example)
A contemporary German-American philosopher who argues that wealthy nations have obligations to help reduce global poverty, particularly through redistribution mechanisms.
