Statist objections to a cosmopolitan minimum de-commodification of labour

In the fourth chapter I defend the account of global justice based on MDL from four powerful objections that are usually raised against classic theories of global justice. The first one is the so called ‘compatriot priority principle’: why should not we give priority to co-nationals in the process of labour de-commodification? The second objection pertains to the so-called ‘coercion view’, which maintains that the absence of coercive institutions at the global level implies that a global redistribution of resources can only be required for humanitarian reasons. The third objection is why shall we linger on judging and criticizing a world order that will never meet the normative standards that we use in our analysis. The fourth objection is the infeasibility objection, and it maintains that we lack both the economic resources and the means for targeting individuals with respect to MDL.
