Economic Justice
This book introduces the philosophy of economic justice while  presenting a non-dogmatic defense of the welfare state.  It  presents and describes libertarian capitalism, state socialism, and the welfare  state with the purpose of determining which best satisfies the requirements of  economic justice. Each system is then evaluated from the perspective of three  widely recognized values: promoting human well-being, giving people what they  deserve, and promoting human liberty. Though the book defends a particular  position, it is also written to encourage readers to think about the issues  intelligently and form their own educated views on the subject. Written in a  clear and readable style, Economic Justice explains the central ideas on  the nature of capitalism, socialism, and the welfare state while providing  concise discussions of the major theorists: Marx, Nozick, and Rawls.   An important and valuable book for any reader interested in  understanding and evaluating the current debates and issues of economic justice  as they relate to capitalism and the welfare state.
