Theories of Distributive Justice

by John E. Roemer

Book Overview

This text critiques economists' conceptions of justice from a philosophical perspective and philosophical theories of distributive justice from an economic one. He unites the economist's skill in constructing precise axiomatic models with the philosopher's in exploring the assumptions of those models. His synthesis should enable philosophers and economists to engage each other's ideas more fruitfully.
