About this book
How Much Do We Deserve? : an Inquiry in Distributive Justice by Richard S. Gilbert is a book available to read on EtoBox.
In this book, the author develops a normative ethical framework for clarifying and assessing claims for distributive justice in the U.S. domestic economy. In this contribution to public policy debate and formation, the author focuses especially on social welfare programs and taxation policies. While critiquing neoclassical reliance on free-market allocation of goods and resources, Gilbert offers an alternative model for economic ethics, a model of "covenantal pragmatism," and carefully explores an understanding of economic justice which gives more adequate weight to the values of human freedom, equity, and community or societal solidarity.
