More about the book
The book presents a compelling argument for egalitarianism in political philosophy, challenging the Rawlsian perspective on justice. It asserts that true distributive justice requires a society where individuals have roughly equal material prospects, emphasizing that significant inequality is incompatible with just principles. Cohen's work seeks to reinforce the idea that a fair society must actively work against deep disparities in wealth and resources.
