This book defends equality against the objection that, due to its failure to provide incentives, it must conflict with either freedom or efficiency, or both. It explains the problem of incentives, the relationship between freedom, efficiency, and equality, and the difficulties of describing an ideal egalitarian economy, before concluding with its own radical solution–a scheme of social duty in a market system. Combining techniques from several disciplines, this work provides an accessible discussion of a central topic in political theory and normative economics.
