Martin Wolf states that extreme poverty, as we defined as what dollar amount a day by the World Bank
(73) 
Answered by Examlex AI CopilotAs of my last update in 2023, the World Bank defines extreme poverty as living on less than $1.90 a day. This threshold is based on the purchasing power parity (PPP) of 2011 international dollars, which is a method used to adjust for differences in price levels between countries. The $1.90 figure is intended to represent the same real purchasing power across different countries and is used as a global poverty line to measure the number of people living in extreme poverty worldwide. Martin Wolf, as a respected financial journalist and commentator, would likely be referencing this figure when discussing extreme poverty in the context of the World Bank's definition.
In "The Entitlement Theory", Robert Nozick asserts that 'justice in holdings' consists of three topics. Summarize these topics.
(84) Answered by Examlex AI CopilotThe three topics of 'justice in holdings' according to Robert Nozick's "The Entitlement Theory" are:
1. Acquisition: This topic focuses on how individuals come to acquire property and holdings. Nozick argues that individuals have a right to acquire property through legitimate means such as voluntary exchange, gift, or original appropriation.
2. Transfer: This topic addresses the voluntary transfer of property and holdings from one individual to another. Nozick asserts that as long as the transfer is voluntary and without coercion, individuals have the right to transfer their property as they see fit.
3. Rectification: This topic deals with the correction of past injustices in holdings. Nozick argues that if someone's property or holdings were acquired or transferred unjustly, then there is a need for rectification to restore justice in holdings.
Overall, Nozick's "The Entitlement Theory" emphasizes the importance of respecting individuals' rights to acquire, transfer, and rectify property and holdings in order to achieve justice in society.
