Grafting the Marxian idea that private property is coercive onto the liberal imperative of individual liberty, this new thesis from one of America's foremost intellectuals conceives a revised definition of justice that recognizes the harm inflicted by capitalism's hidden coercive structures.
- Maps a new frontier in moral philosophy and political theory
- Distills a new concept of justice that recognizes the iniquities of capitalism
- Synthesis of elements of Marxism and Liberalism will interest readers in both camps
- Direct and jargon-free style opens these complex ideas to a wide readership
