Introducing the main theories of distributional justice the book
covers utilitarianism and welfare economics, moving on to Rawls's
social contract and the Sen/Nussbaum capability approach with a
refreshingly readable style. There is a chapter covering the
position of mothers and children in theories of justice. The book
then studies empirical methods used in analysing the distribution
of economic goods, covering Lorenz curves and inequality measures.
The concepts of income, wealth and economic goods are
comprehensively discussed, with a particular view to their role in
theories of justice. This book is an important read for economists
and other social scientists, as well as philosophers who want to
quantify social and economic justice.
