This book brings together a team of leading theorists to address the
question 'What is the right measure of justice?' Some contributors,
following Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum, argue that we should focus
on capabilities, or what people are able to do and to be. Others,
following John Rawls, argue for focussing on social primary goods, the
goods which society produces and which people can use. Still others
see both views as incomplete and complementary to one another. Their
essays evaluate the two approaches in the light of particular issues
of social justice - education, health policy, disability, children,
gender justice - and the volume concludes with an essay by Amartya
Sen, who originated the capabilities approach.
