Fairness in Practice

A Social Contract for a Global Economy

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

If the global economy seems unfair, how should we understand what a fair global economy would be? What ideas of fairness, if any, apply, and what significance do they have for policy and law? Working within the social contract tradition, this book argues that fairness is best seen as a kind of equity in practice.
