The article examines the proposal by President Trump to allow foreigners to purchase citizenship through a "gold card program." While some philosophers argue there’s no inherent issue with selling citizenship, the author contends that certain states should refrain from this practice due to injustices in the world. They emphasize the importance of relational egalitarianism, which posits that true equality in relationships necessitates consideration of socioeconomic inequalities, suggesting that the sale of citizenship could undermine the ability to relate as equals globally.
Relational egalitarianism advocates for ensuring equal relationships among individuals, contending that socioeconomic inequalities hinder our ability to interact as equals.
Selling citizenship in states marked by injustice can exacerbate existing inequalities, diminishing the global capacity to relate as equals.
