Opis

This important new study presents a systematic and definitive critique of the work of Ronald Dworkin, America's leading public philosopher. Focusing on Dworkin's brilliant and highly influential theory of liberal equality, the study reveals the hazards and limitations of basing the central ideals of liberalism on the logic of the market.

Recenzje

splendid ... sets the standard for future work to emulate. Written in lucid prose, and nicely organized, Macleod's book summarizes Dworkin's principal arguments with clarity and charity, before proceeding to offer serieus challenges to some of his central claims. ... Anyone working on Dworkin or distributive justice more generally must read this impressive contribution to the literature.
