While increased inequality has been particularly pronounced in the United States, a similar phenomenon of increasing inequality of incomes and wealth has emerged in the economies of most major western European states. \u003ci\u003eRealizing Equality in Policy\u003c\/i\u003e brings together leading scholars to address current issues relating to rising inequality as it affects policy in the areas of education, health care, anti-poverty, employment, and economic policy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With contributions from scholars of both luck and relational egalitarianism, the essays reexamine a number of basic assumptions regarding social and economic policy from an egalitarian perspective. They explore gender-based discrimination, international justice, and the possibility for engagement between socialist and left-liberal thought. Rather than focusing on the subtle distinctions that divide egalitarian views, this volume shows that both views have the potential to offer important insights about how differences might be overcome and gaps might be closed. In offering new directions for solving wealth inequality through policy, \u003ci\u003eRealizing Equality in Policy\u003c\/i\u003e contributes to ongoing conversations in political theory, economic theory, and moral philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Kaufman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472057421\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472057429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2026","brand":"Alexander Kaufman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48621738230015,"sku":"9780472057429","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/realizing-equality-in-policy-alexander-kaufman-9780472057429","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
