The book deals with poverty and inequality analysed from different areas of public law which, together with economics, technology, public policy, and anthropology, address the general question of how to deal with its existence. The book also examines the poverty and inequality increase and the enormous ruptures that it creates in the total order of politically organised societies. The book, therefore, includes an analysis based on the assumptions of Constitutional Law and International Public Law and Human Rights, as these are areas of legal science and useful tools of analysis for revealing some of the causes, contradictions, and challenges that both poverty and inequality represent in the current social reality and the 2030 perspective.
Reflections that take on greater importance in the current situation, in which the national and international economic, social, and political crises, added to the crisis caused by COVID-19, have an overwhelming effect on the well-being of the population in general, although with a greater impact on the conditions of existence of subjects and communities historically and structurally subject to deprivation and abandonment by the State and the market. This problem of social and economic exclusion has not one but many edges which, likewise, require multiple and diverse responses from academia to achieve real transformation. https://publicaciones.uexternado.edu.co/gpd-pobreza-y-desigualdad-9789587906585.html
