Why do they place so much importance on public goods such as education and health care? To what extent does democracy matter to socialist ideologies?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn The Politics of Equality, Jason C. Myers sheds new light on questions like this, providing a readable, contemporary introduction to egalitarian political philosophy. Concentrating on ideas and values rather than on the rise and fall of parties and movements, the book offers crucial insights into a vital tradition of political thought and how it is key to our understanding of contemporary debates from Obama's plans for a national health care programme to the recent global wave of economic state regulation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is essential reading for anyone interested in constructing a more just society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eJason C.
