Opis

Many contemporary political philosophers reject the so-called distributive paradigm of justice, and believe that it should be replaced with the view that, fundamentally, justice is about social relations. This book refines and assesses this view. It proposes a novel and unique form of egalitarianism, which includes elements from both paradigms.
