Abstract

This paper aims revising the global responsibility concept for the extreme poverty phenomenon put by philosophers as Thomas Pogge and Enrique Bocardo.

Pogge says the global economic system has a direct incidence on this problematic and the citizens of powerful countries, when they contribute to the standing of the current global order, have a direct responsibility about the poverty, which every day ends with life of millions of people in the non-favored countries. At last, from Pogge’s philosophy, it is proposed the union of a moral imperative and an institutional one as possible solution to the poverty ending
