1 INTRODUCTION

The world built by financial integration allows crises that move quickly from one country to another, destroying the lives of people who are vulnerable to poverty. Witness the remarkable speed of the crisis that began as a home mortgage crisis in the United States in 2007 but quickly generalized into an economic crisis around the world. When such contagion breaks out, the poor typically suffer disproportionately. Even after a recovery, the lasting effects, the hysteresis, can trap an entire generation in poverty, which they might otherwise have avoided.^{1 1} Joseph Stiglitz warns of this danger as a result of the workings of crisis transition mechanisms in his talk “Crisis Transmission Mechanisms and the Risk of Hysteresis.” For HD Week Panel on “Managing Shocks to Minimize Effects on Human Development,” March 4, 1999.
The poverty produced by means of economic contagion is plausibly an example of what Iris Marion Young calls a structural injustice. Contagion is a powerful metaphor. One worthy theoretical project of global justice would be a pro-poor social epidemiology of this contagion. Such a pro-poor epidemiology would have many elements. In this paper, I limit my efforts to just two: Explaining the key role of crisis transition mechanisms in producing contagion; and in light of that, discussing how best to understand responsibility for reforming the institutions of the global economy in order to remove or mitigate the effects of crisis transition mechanisms. Although the contagion that spreads poverty can be understood, following Young, as a structural injustice, her social connection model of responsibility is less adequate for understanding responsibility in this case.

经济传染和有利于穷人的社会流行病学

1 介绍

由金融一体化建立的世界允许危机从一个国家迅速转移到另一个国家，摧毁容易陷入贫困的人们的生活。见证这场危机的惊人速度，这场危机始于 2007 年美国的住房抵押贷款危机，但迅速蔓延为全球经济危机。当这种传染病爆发时，穷人通常会遭受不成比例的痛苦。即使在复苏之后，持久的影响，即滞后，也可能使整整一代人陷入贫困，否则他们本可以避免这种情况。^{1 1} 约瑟夫·斯蒂格利茨 (Joseph Stiglitz) 在他的演讲“危机传播机制和滞后风险”中警告说，由于危机过渡机制的运作会导致这种危险。1999 年 3 月 4 日关于“管理冲击以最小化对人类发展的影响”的 HD 周小组。
经济传染造成的贫困似乎是 Iris Marion Young 所说的结构性不公正的一个例子。传染是一个强有力的比喻。一个有价值的全球正义理论项目将是这种传染病的有利于穷人的社会流行病学。这种有利于穷人的流行病学将包含许多要素。在本文中，我的努力仅限于两个方面：解释危机过渡机制在产生传染性方面的关键作用；并有鉴于此，讨论如何最好地理解改革全球经济机构的责任，以消除或减轻危机过渡机制的影响。尽管可以将传播贫困的传染性理解为一种结构性的不公正，但在 Young 之后，
