Abstract
This book considers the implications of the existence of persistent and widespread subsistence rights deficits on what, on a plausible account of international justice, counts as fair cooperation in international taxation. It first establishes that the international tax system currently allows states with great wealth to claim more than they are justifiably entitled to from the global economy. It then demonstrates that that this status quo both facilitates and feeds off continued human suffering, and therefore violates even minimal conceptions of international distributive justice. Finally, it explains how this situation of ongoing injustice can be addressed through existing institutions and processes and show that a fairer international tax system could be achieved with incremental yet effective adaptation, that is, without requiring radical reform or a new world tax order.
