The distinguished political philosopher and author of the widely acclaimed Just and Unjust Wars analyzes how society distributes not just wealth and power but other social “goods” like honor, education, work, free time—even love.

Genre:

“This is a humane and hopeful vision, and Mr. Walzer conveys it with a wry and gentle grace.”
New York Times Book Review
“Michael Walzer is something of a national treasure…. the theory that he develops marks a major contribution to the debate over how to fashion a just society.”
Boston Globe
“This brilliant book…. will transform the debate about distributive justice beyond all recognition.”
Charles Taylor, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, McGill University
“A book which bridges philosophy and social policy in the most engaging and fruitful way... the foundation of a new, emergent liberalism.”

“Walzer presents a sophisticated new theory of equality and supports it by surveying an extraordinarily rich array of social and political ideologies and arrangements…. Fascinating and important.”
Judith Jarvis Thomson, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
