Review :
"In Responsibility in an Interconnected World, Susan P. Murphy aims to provide a practical approach to charitable giving that is grounded in the moral duty to assist. ... Responsibility in an Interconnected World is commendable for pushing us to think more holistically about the duty to assist." (Ethics & International Affairs, Vol. 31 (3), 2017) "Susan Murphy's book provides an excellent analysis of the philosophical underpinnings of development-aid assistance. ... The structure of the book is very reader-friendly, with an abstract for each chapter. It is particularly helpful for readers interested in different aspects of the book, either the philosophical underpinnings, or the more practical aspects of the arguments." (Nita Mishra, The European Journal of Development Research, 2017)
