The Socialized Face of Global Capitalism: The Case of Post-2015 Development Agenda of United Nations

The report of UN published in 2013 “A New Global Partnership: Eradicate Poverty and Transform Economies through Sustainable Development” reveals the new post-2015 goals. The report sets forth a universal agenda to fulfil the promises of eradicating extreme poverty and sustainable development. In this study, it is argued that the Post-Washington consensus which aims to provide sustainability of the capitalist system by decreasing the appearance of social destructions stemming from the nature of the global capitalism forms the basis of the goals of UN and these goals target a sustainable capitalist system under the name of sustainable development. In the context of the aim for giving a social face to global capitalism, through these goals the appearance of social problems especially poverty is tried to be decreased however the fundamental reasons inherent to the system are not underlined
