The core of this book is a novel theory of distributive justice
premised on the fundamental moral equality of persons. In the light
of this theory, Eric Rakowski considers three types of problem
which urgently require solutions - the distribution of resources,
property rights, and the saving of life - and provides challenging
and unconventional answers. Further, he criticizes the economic
analysis of law as a normative theory, and develops an alternative
account of tort and property law. Among the topics discussed are
the principles by which earnings, wealth, and gifts should be
taxed; whether the compulsory removal of organs for transplantation
can be justified; how doctors and public officials should make
life-or-death decisions when all those endangered cannot be helped
in equal measure; and the morality of killing human beings and
non-human animals.
