    Ethical Aspects of Debt Reduction for the Poorest Countries.Jef van Gerwen & Toon Vandevelde - 2001 - Ethical Perspectives 8 (1):3-17.
    Debt reduction for the poorest countries of the world has become a self-evident goal for all people who feel concerned about the problems of the Third World, about absolute poverty and misery.
