| Abstract
|
:
|
It is argued that under neoliberalism the only way for the underclass and those pursuing their dreams outside of the "neoliberal square" to gain social justice is from the "bottom-up". At present, economic, social, and cultural rights are rising on the United Nations agenda but their core minimum obligations, which emphasise the most disadvantaged, are being ignored. These core minimum obligations, such as the right to shelter and primary health care, involve "top-down" provision.
