What ideas of fairness, if any, apply, and what significance do they have for policy and law? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWorking within the social contract tradition, this book argues that fairness is best seen as a kind of equity in practice. The global economy as we know it is organized by an international social practice in which countries mutually rely upon common markets. This practice generates shared responsibilities of \"structural equity,\" independently of humanitarian, human rights, or other justice concerns, for how benefits and burdens are distributed across different societies and their social classes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEquity in the practice of trade requires not only compensation of people harmed by their exposure to global economic forces, but also equal division of the \"gains of trade,\" across and within societies, unless still greater gains flow to developing countries. Fairness therefore calls for strong social insurance schemes, international capital controls, policy flexibility for developing countries, and more-all as the \"fair price\" of free trade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aaron James\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199344566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199344567\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 1.00d","brand":"Aaron James","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054709895423,"sku":"9780199344567","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_77cdc92a-1a55-4e62-85b0-6d2a422a1241.jpg?v=1685031536","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fairness-in-practice-aaron-james-9780199344567","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
