Without reading the article, I can't argue for the author, but I want to mention that you're restating the fundamental difference between two moral systems. Consequentialism and deontology answer your question in opposite ways.So today's crumbs are yesterday's loaf. Does that mean it's okay that most people live only on the scraps of the few? It seems to me that even if life is better - and in many ways maybe it's not? - that doesn't somehow mean that the current situation is hunky dory.
