Description

"Justice as Welfare" links equality, justice and welfare at the philosophical level, to propose an egalitarian view of social justice. "Justice as Welfare" provides an egalitarian account of distributive justice by rethinking notions of welfare. It first considers possible forms of decentered welfare to promote communal and individual autonomy rather than the bureaucratic, centralized market-oriented control. Next, it uses theoretical resources to rethink the conventional notions of solidarity that support welfare. Drawing on recent work in continental philosophy, "Justice as Welfare" suggests that welfare requires a notion of social ontology. It provides both an account of the existential context of communal risk sharing and a framework to think about desire, value, and opportunity. Nothing present political and economic realities, it suggests that international strategies to control 'flight capital' are necessary to create and maintain egalitarian welfare. "Justice as Welfare" aims to present a convincing theoretical account of welfare as social justice and to show how this requires the assertion of democratic control over economic and social reproduction at both national and international levels. This philosophically informed argument about egalitarian justice will appeal to anyone researching issues of social welfare, political theory, and applied political philosophy. Review "Adam Gearey insists that the future of welfare fundamentally depends on our ability to recgonize our shared obligations and forge a common good together. It is a crucial argument and one that offers real political hope to all of us worried about the apparent demise of our welfare state." -- Marc Stears, Professor of Political Theory, University of Oxford, UK and Visiting Fellow, Institute for Public Policy Research About the Author Adam Gearey is a Reader in Law at Birkbeck College, University of London.
