The Responsibility Economy: Redefining Sovereignty, Security, and Survival (Auntie Ping Bilingual Thinking Series 萍阿姨雙語思維系列, Band 27) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Borders cannot stop pandemics. Walls cannot block polluted rivers. Armies cannot shield humanity from climate collapse. The 21st century has shown that sovereignty as isolation is a false security.

In this groundbreaking book, Ping Xu argues that sovereignty must no longer be treated as a shield for neglect but as a covenant of responsibility. By integrating Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Rome Statute, and the Responsibility to Protect (R2P), Xu introduces the concept of the Responsibility Economy—a paradigm that redefines global governance for survival, dignity, and peace.

At its heart is a radical but necessary claim: economic persecution—the deliberate denial of food, healthcare, or housing—should be criminalized as a crime against humanity. Neglect is not misfortune; it is organized harm.

This book presents a practical and enforceable blueprint:

• A Global Social Protection Fund to guarantee dignity beyond borders

• Independent monitoring and evidentiary systems to ensure accountability

• Multi-level governance structures linking local, national, regional, and global responsibility

• Legal mechanisms to transform prevention from aspiration into obligation

Ping Xu, selected to the United Nations P5 Senior Economic Affairs Officer roster, is the author of more than fifty books on social policy, housing, taxation, and universal basic income. Her works combine rigorous analysis with visionary reform, challenging outdated frameworks while offering real-world pathways to peace and justice.

The Responsibility Economy is not just a call for reform—it is a new civilizational covenant. It declares that peace will not be secured by walls or weapons, but by responsibility and care.

If you believe the future demands more than survival—if you believe it demands dignity—this book is your roadmap.
