Olivier De Schutter has a message not many governments want to hear. On Wednesday, the United Nations’s special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights will deliver a report to the U.N. General Assembly on how cuts and curbs to welfare programs and social spending across the world have stoked popular discontent and, as a result, far-right politics.
