Thomas Pogge has argued powerfully for the view that states which are responsible for severe poverty collectively share this responsibility. I claim that this rough equality of collective responsibility is not compelling. Relevant states may share collective responsibility for severe poverty, but some states possess much more responsibility than others. It may prove difficulty determining precisely how much more or less responsible some states are than others. Nonetheless, Pogge's account should be revised to recognize more clearly the inequality of contribution that relevant states have towards collective responsibility for severe poverty.

严重贫困的集体责任

托马斯·波格有力地支持了对严重贫困负有责任的国家共同承担这一责任的观点。我声称这种集体责任的粗略平等并不令人信服。相关国家可能对严重贫困共同承担责任，但有些国家承担的责任比其他国家大得多。可能很难准确确定某些国家的责任程度比其他国家高多少。尽管如此，Pogge 的描述应该被修改，以更清楚地认识到相关国家对严重贫困的集体责任的贡献不平等。
