This book is the result of a close friendship between a political philosopher and an economic sociologist, who recognized the urgent need to address the profound inequalities of wealth and power that exist in contemporary societies. It offers a fresh and insightful analysis of the factors that contribute to these inequalities in rights to income, property, and public goods. By challenging Marx's fundamental theory of exploitation, it goes beyond Marx's framework, both in its examination of inequality and in its concept of just distribution. It identifies the significant historical transformations that have led to educational and knowledge inequalities, as well as inequalities in rights to public goods that are intertwined with those to private wealth. The book argues that economic power asymmetries are inherently gendered and racialized, and that coercion and slavery have deep roots in the history of capitalism.
This book is highly relevant to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 10, which aims to reduce inequalities. By shedding light on the underlying causes of these inequalities and proposing solutions, it contributes to the global effort to create a more equitable and just society. Whether you are a scholar, policymaker, or simply interested in understanding the world around you, this book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to promote social justice and reduce inequality.
