{"product_id":"the-ethics-of-social-democracy-richard-w-miller-9780197795729","title":"The Ethics of Social Democracy: Justice Meets Capitalism","description":"Many people in modern democracies support capitalism and multi-party representative government, with civil and political liberties protected by their country's constitution. They also support political measures to improve citizens' lives and to substantially reduce the economic inequalities that capitalist enterprise would otherwise create. They support policies for taxation, government expenditure, and economic growth that favor those with lower incomes over those who are well-off. This includes preference not only for the poor, but for any citizen who lacks effective access to medical care, advanced education, and cultural enrichment. This political program is often labeled \"social democracy.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Ethics of Social Democracy\u003c\/em\u003e Richard W. Miller offers a moral justification for the pursuit of social democracy in advanced capitalist democracies, and he addresses how people living outside of that socioeconomic context should respond to local conflicts between the economic and the political goals that ought to guide social democrats. Miller also investigates the question of what social democratic ethics requires when it comes to the treatment of foreigners by its laws and policies-and what impact the experience of foreigners has on the moral foundations and political consequences of social democracy. \u003cem\u003eThe Ethics of Social Democracy\u003c\/em\u003e is an important and timely statement by one of the foremost political philosophers of his generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard W.
