Julian Le Grand examines the principal interpretations of equity used by economists and political philosophers, and argues that none captures the essence of the term as well as an alternative conception relating equity to the existence or otherwise of individual choice. He shows that this conception is not only philosophically well-grounded but is also directly relevant to key areas of distributional policy. The theoretical argument is complemented by detailed discussion oEconomic policyDistributive justiceSocial choiceElectronic books.Economic policy.Distributive justice.Social choice.330.01Le Grand Julian.125773MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450971603321Choice513208UNINA
