Extreme inequality and human rights 2015, para. 39
Paragraph
Paragraph text
It seems clear, however, that the deeply expressed concerns about the consequences of inequality are not in fact bringing the sort of deep changes that would be required in the policies of such institutions. For the most part, the response seems to involve the tweaking of traditional policies rather than any change in the fundamental priorities underlying the work of those institutions. This makes it all the more important to inquire into the role that could or should be played by human rights bodies.
