Abstract

In the current multifaceted context, there are actors who benefit from global structural design while others are being imposed barriers to access wealth - which, it is argued, if there was a global distributional architecture focused on fairness, could be better allocated so as to benefit a larger number of individuals. In this matter, mainly using bibliographical research, the paper has the objective to demonstrate that the Rawlsian view, although applicable to hermetic societies, is inadequate for a world submerged in economic inequalities highly tainted by the form of historical, predatory and usurpatory accumulation imposed by the more economically developed countries in relation to the global poor. Therefore, this paper seeks to demonstrate, by an overall analysis and with the scope of the global justice theory as explained by Thomas Pogge, the way in which the global structuring selectively harms, still today, - namely, specially through international resources and loans privileges -, countries, keeping them - or, more often, their populations - in poverty.
