In order to figure out how to fight global poverty, we need to clarify why global poverty is such a bad thing. This chapter examines this question for both the poor and the non-poor. It argues that global poverty is bad because it compromises the agency of the poor in a way that all can see is wrong and harmful, and that interventions to aid the poor must engage their agency toward social transformation. It argues, additionally, that the non-poor have good, instrumental reasons to help the poor to achieve normative agency in certain ways. Finally, it suggests that by engaging transnational corporations to partner with local workers and consumers, it is possible to build a spirit of mutual advantage and create longer term, mutually profitable interactions.
