Justice and the Meritocratic State - Paperback

by Thomas Mulligan (Author)

Like American politics, almost all academic theories of justice fall within one of two traditions: egalitarianism and libertarianism. This book provides an alternative to the partisan standoff by focusing not on equality or liberty, but on the idea that we should give people the things that they deserve.
