Amartya Sen, The Idea of Justice

Harvard economist and Nobel Prize winner Amartya Sen has written a book entitled The Idea of Justice that is being heralded as one of the best publications in years on the topic. Last week, there was an article in the Chronicle of Higher Education about Sen's book ("Amartya Sen Shakes Up Justice Theory"), which helpfully explains how Sen's theory fits in with the longer philosophical history of theories of justice. I highly recommend it to students in this course.
