Ethics professor Philippe Van Parijs sets out a new and compelling case for a just society. Assessing and rejecting the claims of both socialism and conventional capitalism, Van Parijs presents a clear and compelling alternative vision of the just society--a capitalist society offering a substantial and unconditional basic income to all its members.What (if anything) can justify capitalism. Capitalist societies are full of unacceptable inequalities. Freedom is of paramount importance. These convictions are shared across the world, yet they are often in total contradiction with each other. This book attempts to offer a solution to the dilemma, presenting an idea of the just society.
