Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A major new philosophical work by the Nobel prize-winning economist and writer. It constructs a new theory of justice, not from abstract ideals, but from what the results of a system are practically in the world. Sure to attract major review coverage.

Publisher's description:

Is justice an ideal, forever beyond our grasp, or something that may actually guide our practical decisions and enhance our lives? This work presents an alternative approach to mainstream theories of justice which, despite their many specific achievements have taken us, he argues, in the wrong direction in general.
