First published in 1997, this volume delves into the most
influential theories of economic justice, which ground themselves
in utilitarian or related contractarian ideas about the self. These
ideas take self-interest to be transparent and unproblematic.
Favoured assumptions about the self also make scarcity the primary
reality with which economic justice must deal. Much is lost in
consideration of the justness of economic arrangements when we take
the wants and interests of the self for granted in this way, and
treat scarcity as a premise. In this book the author places the
discussion of economic justice on a sounder foundation as regards
the nature and ends of the self. The book begins with a discussion
of the self as a structure, and proceeds to consider aspects of
self-interest, public ends, economic welfare, needs and wants, the
limits of the market, economic democracy, global inequality, and
justice as the end of development.
