Description

Book Synopsis
Governments and institutions, perhaps even more than markets, determine who gets what in our society. This title offers a systematic explanation of what we mean by fairness in distributing public resources and burdens, and applies the theory to actual cases.

Trade Review
"A concise, clearly written introduction to the alternative principles of equity in practical and topical contexts... Young's concern is with what he calls 'equity in the small' or 'macro justice': solutions to everyday problems as distinguished from the goals of social philosophers seeking to establish basic principles for sharing the fruits of social cooperation."--Robert E. Kuenne, The Southern Economic Journal
