Product Description

Product Description

What models of distributive justice can the 21st century promote to challenge the spread of insecurity, inequality and social fragmentation? The 20th century was dominated by competition between two labour models of society state socialism and welfare state capitalism, which promoted forms of labour security. Since the 1970s, globalization and flexible labour markets have increased insecurity and inequalities. After a period dominated by libertarianism, politicians and social thinkers must find ways of promoting distributive justice, based on basic security and new forms of voice representation and regulation. Dismissing the approach of the "new paternalists", this book presents a vision combining security of income and representation without moralistic state control.

4.0 out of 5 stars A book that combines empathy with realism, 18 Jan 2000
By A Customer
Any book that mentions Polanyi and Arendt in the first chapter gets off to a good start with me. Without trying to paraphrase the author, I can say that this is a valid and vital attempt to face up to the left's age-old problem of combining the wrongs of paternalism and utopianism with the empathy that facilitates societal growth.
