"Does recognition of the basic human right to subsistence imply that the needy are
morally permitted to take and use other people's property to escape their plight?
Should we respect the exercise of this right of necessity in a variety of scenarios
- from street pickpocketing and petty theft to illegal squatting and encamping? In
this concise and accessible book, Alejandra Mancilla addresses these complex and controversial
moral questions. The [book] presents a historical account of the concept of the right
of necessity-from the medieval writings of Christian canonists and theologians to
seventeenth century natural law theory. Mancilla goes on to ground this right in a
minimal conception of basic human rights, and she proposes some necessary and jointly
sufficient conditions for its exercise. She confronts the main objections that may
be posed against this principle and ultimately concludes that the exercise of this
right should be considered as a trigger to secure a minimum threshold of welfare provisions
for everyone, everywhere."--Back cover
