Not Enough

In Not Enough, Samuel Moyn explores the history of human rights and their uneven development, highlighting how the pursuit of social and economic justice has often been overshadowed by a focus on political rights and market-driven policies. The book traces the evolution of welfare states and their efforts to address inequality, only to be overtaken by neoliberalism's dominance. Moyn critically examines why human rights advocacy has prioritized remedying poverty without challenging wealth disparities, calling for more ambitious ideals to create a fairer world.
