Opis

"Equality of opportunity for all" is a fine piece of political rhetoric but the ideal that lies behind it is slippery to say the least. This book defends a particular account of the ideal and its place in a more radical version of what it is to level the playing field.

Recenzje

...an interesting and resourceful contribution to a key topic of political philosophy.
