Review
Fleischacker provides a fascinating account of the development of our contemporary notion of distributive justice. This is an excellent book that fills a real need.
--Stephen Darwall, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and author of Welfare and Rational Care
This is a succinct, coherent, and wide-ranging history of distributive justice that will be a boon for teachers and students. Written with a light touch, it will provoke discussion and thought, raising the possibility of seeing things differently. A fine contribution.
--Ross Harrison, University of Cambridge and author of Hobbes, Locke, and Confusion's Masterpiece
This will be an important book. Its thesis is highly original and interesting, it displays impressive erudition in making its argument, the argument itself is cogently made, and all this is done in a remarkably modest amount of space.
--Daniel Brudney, University of Chicago and author of Marx's Attempt to Leave Philosophy
Samuel Fleishacker's engaging and very readable Short History of Distributive Justice should be an essential reference for all social workers who use the concept of social justice...This is a marvelous book which should be read by all social workers.
