In this article, I seek to critically examine unconditional cash transfers (UCTs) and conditional cash transfers (CCTs) and consider how a Levinasian ethics might offer normative guidelines to evaluate such aid programmes. Such an analysis will serve to both critique and supplement the traditional utilitarian analyses of such programmes. In so doing, this article also hopes to contribute to the business ethics literature in which a Levinasian ethics may be brought to bear on realworld problems. I argue that this can be done by allowing a more complex representation of the Other's alterity. Two UCT programmes are then examined using this framework. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
