An ideal book for an upper level undergraduate course or a graduate course." - Peter Vallentyne! University of Missouri! USA"This is a wonderful introduction to and insightful discussion of the core aspects of egalitarianism. With exemplary style! Hirose manages to bridge the gap between abstract philosophical analysis and concrete distributive judgments.
