Abstract

Abstract The UN Resolution heralding the Sustainable Development Goals pledges to leave no one behind, and moreover “to reach the furthest behind first”. This priority echoes the priority to the worst-off that is being discussed in philosophy, economics and related disciplines, but also the pleas of many actors who represent or fight for the most disadvantaged populations. This paper argues that serious theories do support such a priority and that the best policies implementing this priority do not necessarily involve the most intuitive anti-poverty targeted measures.

优先考虑落后最远的人

宣布可持续发展目标的联合国决议承诺不让任何一个人掉队，而且“首先帮助最落后的人”。这一优先事项呼应了哲学、经济学和相关学科中正在讨论的对最贫困人口的优先考虑，也呼应了代表最弱势群体或为最弱势群体而战的许多行动者的请求。本文认为，严肃的理论确实支持这样的优先事项，而实施这一优先事项的最佳政策不一定涉及最直观的反贫困目标措施。
