Recenzje

'It is one of the greatest merits of William Edmundson's analysis in John Rawls: Reticent Socialist to unambiguously bring out Rawls's profound hostility to a capitalist society characterized by both economic exploitation and political domination, where those with more money and resources can undermine the fair value of political liberties by exerting disproportionate influence on political processes that further entrench their accumulated advantage.'
