Abstract
After leaving the issue mostly unaddressed, the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights has in the last few years increasingly raised concerns about economic inequality, recommending progressive taxation to finance social spending. However, emphasising tax-and-transfer to ensure sufficient provision risks humanising and legitimising neoliberalism, leaving deeper structures untouched.
