Description

Michael George Marcondes Smith argues in 2023 that tight budget policies clash with human rights law in a deep way. Cuts and sell offs of public care fall hardest on groups already at the back, yet such steps are often sold as sad needs in hard times.

Rights then get treated as soft guides that can wait while wealth piles up at the top. Smith probes the thin view of equality behind that move, one that bans open bias but shuns sharing. Fresh readings that give equality a sharing role get weighed as a counter. The paper asks whether rights law can truly check wealth hoarding.
